With another weekend of near triple digit heat on the way, Sunday afternoon may great a great time to enjoy some great Blues inside an air conditioned venue in Historic Folsom. The talents of Dennis Jones are the billing for Sunday’s Powerhouse of Blues.
Johnny Winter, Buddy Guy, and most recently, George Thorogood and Tinsley Ellis are just a few of the names Jones has opened for while touring the United States,Canada, and Europe for several years.
Today, Jones and his band are headlining venues with their sizzling hot guitar solos and smooth and soulful vocals in high-energy stage performance. The front of the band is backed by a rhythm section that is described as being second to none.
Today, Jones still has his feet firmly rooted in the past, yet his heart and soul are connected to the present. He writes songs that seamlessly blend the best of both worlds, presenting a unique and contemporary style of American rock and blues. Jones has written songs for other notable artists as well. He also spent three years with The Bus Boys, best known for their song the Boys Are Back In Town and was a member of The Zac Harmon Band, when they won first place in the 2004 Blues Music Awards Competition in Memphis.
Sunday’s show is part of three big days of music at Powerhouse Pub. Tickets for Sunday’s Powerhouse of Blues are just $10 and can be purchased online though www.powerhousepub.com or at the door Sunday.
