A previous version of this post said masks were required for the Friday event, according to Chuck Miller with the Fox, they are encouraged. Hutch Post regrets the error.
“Mr. 335,” the great Larry Carlton, takes Hutchinson’s Historic Fox Theatre stage Friday, September 10, 2021 at 8:00 p.m. The concert, “Steely Dan ’78 Album Remembered” features the sextet’s homage to Carlton’s work with Steely Dan. Tickets are available at (877) FOX-SHOW or www.hutchinsonfox.com.
Nineteen-time Grammy nominee, Four-time Grammy winner and all-time guitar great, Larry Carlton established himself from his first recording, A Little Help From My Friends. His studio credits include musicians and groups like Steely Dan, Joni Mitchell, Michael Jackson, Sammy Davis Jr., Herb Alpert, Quincy Jones, Bobby Bland, Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt and literally dozens of others. He went on to perform with the Crusaders and then with the multi-platinum jazz super group Fourplay.
With 38 albums to his credit and having performed on over 100 albums that have gone Gold or Platinum, Carlton has set a standard for artistry that spans three decades. Additionally, Larry received a Lifetime Achievement Award from Guitar Player magazine; was presented the "Titan of Tone" award from Premier Guitar Magazine; and received a star on the Rock Walk of Fame on June 3, 1999. Among Carlton’s many awards he also received the George Benson Lifetime Achievement Award; was named One of the 10 Greatest-Ever Session Guitarists by Gibson; and Guitar Player magazine lists "Kid Charlemagne" as one of the Most Influential Rock Solos Ever!
The safety of FOX guests, staff, volunteers, and artists remains the utmost importance and will require some minor changes. Ushers will seat Larry Carlton guests in a socially distanced pattern throughout the theatre. Executive Director Chuck Miller said, “While you might not have the exact seat you purchased, we will do our very best to seat you in the section of your purchase.” The FOX requests that you wear a mask while inside the building.
For the interim the FOX will be asking all staff and volunteers to wear a mask or face shield, whether vaccinated or unvaccinated. The FOX will follow protocols currently in place including the use of electrostatic disinfectant sprayers and plexiglass screens at point of sale. FOX staff understands that this remains a fluid situation. The FOX will revisit the policy on a show-by-show basis.
