King. By that point, most of King\u2019s staples had been picked up by other artists, so the pair settled on the blues master\u2019s 1967 deep cut, \u201cThe Jungle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The performance \u2014 featuring King\u2019s old drummer, Herman Jackson \u2014 was enough of a success that Gibbons and Flanigin booked a follow-up show at Antone\u2019s, despite not having a full band at the time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Flanigin ended up recruiting Layton, a drummer who\u2019d once played with Stevie Ray Vaughan, while Foley, a Canadian blues singer and guitarist, offered to open the show, but was asked to join the band instead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The lineup was completed when Vaughan \u2014 the older brother of Stevie Ray, and an acclaimed guitarist in his own right \u2014jumped at the chance to play with Gibbons for the first time in his career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Speaking of the fourth annual Jungle Show, Gibbons said, \u201cWe\u2019ve come to think of this Jungle Show thing as something of a destination musical event. Certainly, Jimmie, Mike, Sue, Chris and I all set our sights on Austin as the year winds down and that\u2019s where the vapors coalesce, so to speak. The Jungle Show audience, coming from around the corner and across the globe zeros in on Antone\u2019s and keeps the excitement at an intense level. Let\u2019s put it this way, it\u2019s well worth the trip, irrespective on which side of the footlights you may find yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Tickets for the Jungle Show will go on sale October 15th at 10 a.m. CT (9 a.m. ET).
