The man behind Rock music's most legendary era, Jimi Hendrix will be honored by music's brilliant guitar players, in Experience Hendrix at Mesa Arts Center Sunday, March 7, at 7:30 p.m.

The all-star line-up of rock and roll guitar greats include, Billy Cox, Joe Satriani, Jonny Lang, Ernie Isley, Brad Whitford, and Living Colour.

Hendrix is the greatest electric guitarist in the history of rock music. This year's Experience Hendrix tour is an exciting prospect for Billy Cox whose history with Jimi Hendrix dates back to their days in the Army together.

These talented guitarists will perform the music of one of the most influential and timeless rock musicians in the intimate setting of the Ikeda Theater at Mesa Arts Center.
