Legendary guitarist's performance at the Woodstock Art & Music Fair gets the big screen treatment along width special Q&A Session with Jimi Hendrix Experience bassist Billy Cox and studio engineer Eddie Kramer. Film screening will be followed by all-star musical tribute featuring Billy Cox, Kenny Olson, Eric Gales, Sheldon Reynolds, Chris Layton, and other special guests to be announced.


Jimi Hendrix's original bassist, Billy Cox and longtime studio engineer, Eddie Kramer will be on-hand April 6 at a special Film Screening and Tribute Concert held at Axis, the popular Boston music venue located behind Fenway Park. The evening of events will be capped off with a special live Jimi Hendrix tribute concert featuring the likes of Billy Cox, Kenny Olson (guitarist, Kid Rock), Eric Gales, Chris Layton [Drummer, Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble), Indigenous, Sheldon Reynolds (guitarist, Devoted Spirits; ex-Earth Wind & Fire), Andy Aledort and many other special guests.

"This special event will be a real treat for all of Jimi's fans," states Janie Hendrix, President & CEO of Experience Hendrix, L.L.C. "Similar events held on the West Coast were very well received, so we are pleased to be working with the Axis Nightclub and radio station WZLX in helping to bring this magical night of film and live music to the fans in Boston. Not only will fans get to see this newly expanded presentation of Jimi's Woodstock concert, they will be thrilled to meet and speak with both Billy Cox and Eddie Kramer. Billy will then take to the stage with a great line-up of fellow musicians for a very exciting show."

The new Jimi Hendrix Live At Woodstock film features all of existing film footage from Jimi's celebrated festival performance, including never-before-seen versions of "Foxey Lady," "Hey Joe" and "Spanish Castle Magic." Hendrix's performance, which was scheduled to close Woodstock on Sunday night, was delayed until Monday morning due to delays and inclement weather. The set was highlighted by Hendrix's remarkable version of the "Star-Spangled Banner," which is included in the presentation.

Immediately following the film screening, WZLX DJ Carter Alan will moderate a special Q&A session with Billy Cox and Eddie Kramer and members of the audience.

A special Jimi Hendrix tribute concert will follow, with Billy Cox joined onstage by such special guests as Double Trouble drummer Chris Layton, guitarists Kenny Olson, Eric Gales, Sheldon Reynolds, Andy Aledort, and many more. Similar to the wildly successful tribute concerts held at the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, Seattle's Experience Music Project, the historic Paramount and Warfield Theatres plus music festivals like the San Diego Street Scene, the Jimi Hendrix Tribute Concert at Axis will be sure to keep Boston's ardent music fans talking for weeks.

Axis is located at 13 Lansdowne Street, Boston MA. Advanced tickets ($15) are available through Axis Nightclub Box Office (617) 262-2424 or http://www.teapartyconcerts.com NEXT Ticketing (617) 423-6000. Doors open at 7:00pm.
