The Hesitations/Travis Haddix Blues Band/Rare Juelle/The Relatively Jammin' Blues Band

Back in 2006, then-Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum CEO Terry Stewart asked the Hesitations, a terrific old Cleveland soul group, to reunite for a gig at the museum. The band’s been playing steadily ever since and sounds as sharp as ever. The Hesitations’ roots go back to the mid-’60s, when they recorded R&B hits like “Soul Superman,” “Born Free,” and “Climb Every Mountain.” In their heyday, they mixed up R&B, gospel and soul and they still take that approach. Band leader George Hendricks recently suffered a stroke, and this show serves a benefit concert to help raise money to offset his medical expenses. (Niesel)
