Download: Bruce Hornsby, R.S. Hornsby, Burlington (2002)

We recently asked our Facebook community for ideas for the next concert download – anything from the early 00’s and the Big Swing Face release was a popular request.


R.S.Hornsby Since today is January 15 and marks the 12th anniversary of our great friend R.S. Hornsby’s passing, this recording is entirely fitting. It’s an audience recording from Burlington, VT, where R.S. was based at the time, and features R.S. throughout. 

Steve Kimock also sits in, and with the always formidable Doug Derryberry, we have the phenomenal presence of three amazing guitarists for the entire show.

There’s a healthy dose of Big Swing Face in the first set. More 2002 shows to follow soon!

About the venue

The Flynn Theater, located in Burlington, Vermont, opened on November 26, 1930, as New England’s first movie theater. Designed by Mowll and Rand, it showcased Art Deco architecture, reflecting the grandeur of early cinemas. In the late 1970s, the Lyric Theater Company recognized the need for a performance space and formed the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts (FCPA) in 1980. After purchasing the theater in 1981, the FCPA undertook a major restoration, overcoming challenges like a devastating flood. The restored Flynn now stands as a cultural hub and architectural gem.
