Info: When you think Texas blues-rock, you think Van Wilks. A Galveston-born, Texas-forged guitar legend, Wilks has shared stages with ZZ Top, Heart, Journey, and Aerosmith while carving out a career as one of Texas’ most enduring and electrifying players. Co-writer with Billy Gibbons on ZZ Top’s “Drive By Lover,” Wilks’ guitar-driven sound is equal parts grit and soul, earning him induction into the Texas Music Hall of Fame. With his acclaimed release 21st Century Blues, he proves that fads fade — but true Texas blues endures.

Info: Join us for Jonn Del Toro Richardson Band with Guests Trudy Lynn, Kaz, Barry Seelan and Leonard "Lowdown" Brown!
