Blast Furnace Blues Festival (with Johnny Rawls), Bethlehem, PA

Sep. 17, 2011

I'll be joining Johnny Rawls's band as guitarist for this very cool new gigantic blues fest!  Put on by the ever-amazing festival go-to-guy, Michael Cloeren, who ran the Poconos Blues Fest for the past 20 years.  www.artsquest.org/festivals/blastfurnaceblues

Johnny is a super cool soulman, who has traveled the highways and byways playing true soul and blues for over 40 years.  He was O.V. Wright's bandleader, and backed up Little Johnny Taylor, Joe Tex, and many other soul greats during soul music's heyday.  www.johnnyrawlsblues.com
