Opening for Eric Clapton, Andy Fairweather-Low and the Low Riders delivered an excellent set that set the tone for the evening. A former Clapton sideman, Low stepped into the spotlight with quiet confidence, leading his tight-knit band through a warm, engaging mix of blues, swing, and rock’n’roll. His guitar work was sharp and tasteful, whether on intimate acoustic tunes or rollicking electric numbers. While the influence of his former employer is unmistakable, Low’s distinctive voice and relaxed charisma gave the performance its own charm. With a mix of well-chosen covers and strong originals, it was a classy, crowd-pleasing start to the night.
