Still pounding on the 88 keys at the age of 82, Jerry Lee Lewis has had long and storied career. Known for such hits as “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On” and “Great Balls of Fire,” Lewis is also rumored to have set his instrument on fire during a Brooklyn performance in 1958—nearly a decade before Jimi Hendrix lit up his Stratocaster at Monterey Pop. One thing is for sure: Lewis was a fiery performer in his prime. Witness one of America’s first rock stars in the flesh at the Mountain Winery this weekend.
