“He’s got a knack with that fred board, all right, and that rapid-fire staccato blues lead that makes a solo so recognizable simply belongs to big John when that Strat takes flight,” reports World’s Greatest Critic.

American soul blues singer, guitarist, arranger, songwriter, and record producer Johnny Rawls has produced around seventween albums. Additionally, he has performed with big time blues artists O.V. Wright and James Carr.

Johnny will be performing at the Bradfordville Blues Club (BBC) in Tallahassee, Fl on February 14th (Valentine’s Day) at 8:00pm.

The BBC gives newcomers a preview of what this unique experience on their website:

“The bonfire burns nightly under the large oaks and provides a great atmosphere for romance. You can usually meet the artists as they too enjoy the rustic surroundings out by the fire or you can just sit back and relax during the set breaks.”

Whether or not you are spending Valentine’ s Day with a significant other, with family, with friends, or on your own – you can enjoy your evening listening to one of the most incredible soul blues musicians from Mississippi.

Online tickets typically last until a few hours before the show or until sold out, however with it being Valentine’s Day, these tickets are likely to get snatched while they’re still hot.
