Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets at the Uptown Theatre

JaM Cellars Presents Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets at the Uptown Theatre on Saturday, March 1, at 8 p.m. Nick Lowe has made his mark as a producer, songwriter, short-lived career as a pop star and a lengthy term as a musicians’ musician. But in his current second act as a silver-haired, tender-hearted but sharp-tongued singersongwriter, he has no equal. Los Straitjackets are the leading practitioners of the lost art of the guitar instrumental. Using the music of the Ventures, The Shadows and with Link Wray and Dick Dale as a jumping off point, the band has taken their brand of original rock ‘n’ roll around the world. Clad in their trademark Lucha Libre Mexican wrestling masks, the Jackets have recorded 16 albums, performed thousands of concerts and appeared in films and on TV shows.
