Lustre Kings to Rock Out at City Center

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Mark Gamsjager and the Lustre Kings play rock ‘n’ roll the right way, and they will be in town at the Saratoga Springs City Center Dec. 31 as part of First Night 2015. 

The powerhouse Albany, New York combo has wowed crowds at Manhattan’s Rodeo Bar, Seattle’s Tractor Tavern and all points in-between; and they’ve done it with uncommon fervor, commitment and flair. The Lustre Kings have a devoted international fan base and they continue to tear up the road every year. 

In addition to their own dates, the Lustre Kings have accompanied Wanda Jackson, the Queen of Rockabilly, for over five years, and frequently work with seasoned artists like Bill Kirchen, Eddie Angel and Robert Gordon. The group is versed in classic pop standards and light jazz as well as their trademark American roots rock music. The new, appropriately-titled long-player “Way Out There” (Wild Boar Records) is their fourth and finest effort. In his liner notes for the album, six-string wizard Deke Dickerson says, “Like a fine wine, the Lustre Kings just get better with each passing year, and this new album has the seasoned bouquet and nutty aftertastes that won’t leave you disappointed.”
