Sparta — The Sparta Summer Concerts will feature blues rocker Billy Hector. Hector has shared the bill with B.B. King, Billy Preston, Bo Diddley, Coco Taylor, Johnny Winter, Ronnie Earl, Johnny Copeland, Buddy Guy, Dr. John, and The Fabulous Thunderbirds. More than one reviewer has called his performance “one of the best shows you’ll ever see”.
