For the uninitiated, the blues guitarist and Grammy-winning producer learned much of his slide technique after hearing records by Robert Johnson. He toured with John Lee Hooker for years, featured the late pianist Allen Toussaint on his 1987&nbsp;<em>Sidewinder<\/em>&nbsp;release, and even worked alongside Linda Ronstadt and Jackson Browne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI use open tuning in my music, and we do lots of improvisation,\u201d Rogers said during a 2012 interview. \u201cThese open tunings take various forms and can move music in a lot of places.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check him out during this rare Sonoma County soiree, and expect to find Rogers doing some free-form solos. May 31, Healdsburg Plaza, 217 Healdsburg Ave., Healdsburg. 6pm. Free.
