Black Hole Music is pleased to announce that Jeremy Spencer, former guitarist for the legendary rock band Fleetwood Mac and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, will perform a special concert in Rockford on Saturday, June 13, at 7:30 pm. The concert will be held at the Rockford Theatre, 323 Park Avenue in downtown Rockford.

Spencer had been out of the spotlight for decades when, in 2005, the promoter of the Notodden Blues Festival in Norway, Jostein Forsberg, convinced Spencer to perform publicly again. He paired the rock legend with some of the best blues musicians in Norway, some of whom had been playing together for twenty-five years. Their performance at the Festival was a huge success.

Completely taken by the sympathetic backing provided by the Norwegian musicians, Spencer used the group to record his first album in 27 years, Precious Little, on Blind Pig Records, which Vintage Guitar magazine said "…may well be the pop music comeback of the past several decades.” Among dozens of other overwhelmingly enthusiastic reviews of the album was former band mate Mick Fleetwood declaring the recording as “Great! All the passion, humor, poignancy, and yes, that magic touch… a righteous album.”

Jeremy Spencer followed this up with a 3-city tour in 2008, playing shows in St.Louis, Chicago, and Madison. Referring to the 2008 tour Art Tipaldi, senior editor for Blues Revue and Blues Wax, said, "In the past two years, I've seen Jeremy Spencer perform four shows at the Notodden Blues Festival and I can tell you that each show was better than the previous. Jeremy has lost none of the fire from those Fleetwood Mac days. His slide guitar still sends chills. Every note I've heard Jeremy play showcases his great commitment to the blues. I've seen him ignite the stage with a mixture of classic Chicago blues and smart contemporary songs. This tour is the music rediscovery of 2008."

“Mississippi” Gabe Carter will open the show. Carter, an Indiana native currently hailing from Chicago, is supporting his latest album, Midnight Dream.
