Wednesday Night Blues at Charly's

Opening the month is Steve Willis, who is a triple threat on piano harmonica, and accordion. The consummate musician and entertainer has toured with Elvin Bishop for many years and was a Memphis IBC Semifinalist in 2022. You’ll enjoy a laid-back, New Orleans style from this pro. Following Steve is the popular Jacqui Foreman, with Rich Bowen accompanying her. Jacqui has been a featured artist in Northern AZ for many years, appearing in many local establishments, and has opened for British legend John Mayall. She also represented NAZBA at the Memphis IBC in 2018 as a soloist and also is part of the “Ladies Sing the Blues” show. Rich Bowen has also been a long-standing Northern AZ guitarist and this duo really packs a one-two punch when they perform! The third Wednesday in March features Chicago’s Johnny Burgin II, currently on the back end of a western US tour. Johnny was nominated last year for a Blues Music Award (BMA) for Best Traditional Blues Artist and we are looking forward to hosting him on March 20. Get there early as it is likely to be crowded! Rounding out March from the Ukraine is Max Tovstyi. Max is a gifted young guitarist, who fled his country about 15 months ago and we are delighted to showcase his talent and ability. He likes Stevie Ray and another guy named Jimi, so buckle up for some fun and it’s not very often we see someone in their mid-30s with 17 albums!

Wednesday Night Blues at Charly’s features some of the best local AZ and national touring acts so make your plans for an exciting month of high-quality entertainment at a wonderful venue, with a great vibe, where you can get up close and personal with the artists.
