Grammy-nominated Blues songwriter and guitarist Jontavious Willis is resolved in his mission: to reinvigorate today’s Blues with the spirit of the past. Inspired by a time when the Blues were plentiful and rhythm reigned supreme, Jontavious leverages his unique sound—a synthesis of his Georgia heritage and reverence for traditional Blues—to get the world dancing again. Jontavious and his band perform original, toe-tapping tunes in the style of Delta, Piedmont, Texas, and Gospel Blues. Dynamic vocals, technical prowess, and an abundance of Southern charm keep Jontavious sending jolts of vitality through the Blues community. "That's my Wonderboy, the Wunderkind. Jontavious is a great new voice of the 21st century in the acoustic blues" --Taj Mahal. This project is supported by the Durham Arts Council’s Durham Culture & Arts - Invest to Restart. This is a general admission event, with a combination of seated, standing and dancing room.
