EASTON, MARYLAND — Friday, Oct. 2, 2026, the Harriet Tubman Museum & Educational Center presents a tribute to Carlos Santana and Jimi Hendrix at Avalon Theatre. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. The show starts at 6:00 p.m. Tickets are listed at $50 and $40, fees not included.

Avalon’s listing names Washington, D.C., guitarist and educator David B. Cole as the featured performer. The program note says Cole pays homage to Santana and Hendrix by folding their influence into a live jazz, blues, and R&B set, and it states that the night is a fundraiser for the museum. Avalon records a facility-rental notice: the Foundation rents the theatre to many organizations and neither endorses nor censors what renters present.

The museum that the benefit supports sits in Cambridge. The Harriet Tubman Museum and Education Center, 424 Race Street, Cambridge, MD 21613, states its goal as preserving and celebrating the historical legacy of Harriet Tubman and other influential African Americans from Maryland’s Eastern Shore. It invites visitors into exhibits, films, educational programs, events, and historical tours that deepen understanding of the fight for freedom and equality. Public hours on the museum site: Thursday and Friday noon to 3 p.m., Saturday noon to 4 p.m., and Sunday by appointment.

Tickets and clock times are on Avalon’s listing. Museum hours and mission are on harriettubmanmuseumcenter.org.
