Atlanta's most famous blues club, Blind Willies, has been a fixture on the national blues scene for over 20 years. Numerous legendary acts have stepped on the Blind Willies stage, and this club is one of the places where the blues took its first real bite out of me.
Similarly, the Blind Willies house band, The Shadows, are icons of Atlanta blues music. Their perfomances and recordings have inspired me for over 15 years,and today I am very proud to consider each of the members of the Shadows not only my mentors, but also my friends.
On Sunday June 28, 2009 my friends the Shadows have decided to put togther a special Blind Wililes All Star show in my honor. The lineup includes the Shadows, the Breeze Kings, Luther Johnson, Francine Reed, Sandra Hall, Sweet Betty, Tommy Brown, Roy Lee Johnson, and Eddie Tigner. Several other surprise guests are expected !!
The event will be a showcase of some of the best performers in Atlanta's blues history. Don't miss it.
