JJ Ball Plays the Blues

The BLUES are alive and well with a new generation as this seventeen year old performer continues the tradition of acoustic slide and an ever-growing list of slick electric blues.  JJ's performances consist of tunes from the likes of John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters & Blind Willie McTell, as well as artists like Keb' Mo', Johnny Winter, Stevie Ray Vaughn, The Allman Bros. and more.  With his back-up band "Black Cat Bones", JJ takes traditional blues styles and infuses them with a raw, fiery energy.  His shows are truly unforgettable!
