The Last Prophet of the Funky Texas Blues, Willie Laws, is no stranger to Millis, known for his legendary shows at the now defunct, Jasper Hill Restaurant & Music venue. A U.S. Navy veteran, raised in the Gulf Coast of Texas near Corpus Christi, Laws has traveled the world making music with over 30 years of performances. Deep Deep Well, Black Maria and Devil in my Baby's Eyes are just a few of the tunes you may hear at this long awaited return of the Texas born bluesman. Willie will perform as a duo with Gregg Allman band alumni, Bruce Mattson on keys.
Opening the evening's festivities will be the reunited, original "Cindy Lou Trio" offering a unique blend of jazz, blues, and classic rock/folk music. Led by Cindy Lou's sultry and captivating voice, and featuring the superb guitar work of David Cirella and John Ryder, this truly special collaboration showcases a bond between these three musicians, whose interpretation of some of the very best music ever written is nothing short of magical.
