“One of my favorite things about THE WORLD’S GREATEST TRIBUTE BANDS is it provides a national stage for our talented bands to bring to life this timeless music we can sometimes no longer see and hear live,” said Katie Daryl. “After their passing this year, I knew we had to invite our amazing Prince and David Bowie tributes to return to the show to honor those artists and I am excited to finally present a tribute to one of the most innovative guitarists of all time, Jimi Hendrix.”
