Small Blind Johnny in Verona! Concerts in the Park!

Verona Concerts in the Park Century School Park
Blues

Pollinated by the folk and electrified blues traveling up Highway 41 from Chicago, they were inspired by the Blues greats and the Brew Town musicians who learned from the best. Many great players have passed through Small Blind Johnny’s ranks, and some have passed on, but the band endeavors on their quest to pay homage to, and capture as best they can, the heartbeat and soul of the roots music they love.
