Join us on Thursday, May 20 in the Village Courtyard in downtown Gulfport for the inaugural 'Celebration for Sterling Magee', a concert event honoring Gulfport blues legend Sterling “Mr. Satan” Magee (1936 - 2020) on the 85th celebration of his birth. Sir Rod & the Blues Doctors, led by Sterling’s nephew Rod Patterson and his longtime musical partner Adam Gussow and featuring Alan Gross on guitar, will perform selections from their latest album ‘Come Together,’ along with a number of ‘Satan and Adam’ favorites to get the crowd dancing.

The event will begin at 6pm with Leify Green and his Various Vikings followed by the Celebration.

Two years ago, Gulfport filled the Catherine Hickman Theatre for a showing of the acclaimed documentary ‘Satan and Adam,’ based on the extraordinary musical and life journey of Sterling and we’re looking forward to capturing the magic of that evening again. Join us for a beautiful celebration of blues, dancing, and the kind of entertainment and joy that Sterling brought to all of us.
