He will perform Steel City Boogie, playing lead guitar against a recorded backup which is always in C (tonic pedal point). The composition evolved out of Flynt’s interest in making a hard-rock adaptation of the selection "Lonesome Train Dreams" on his album Graduation. Flynt has updated his sound, using effects more aggressively than in his guitar work of the last century.

Flynt played publicly in New York in the 1970s and early 1980s, headed the band Nova'billy, and has many published recordings on Recorded, Locust, and Ampersand. He has about twenty albums out of archived performances. He returned to live performance in 2008 after a twenty-five year absence.
