Special Event Description:

This is only the band's 2nd appearance.There are guys who've become famous doing the sensitive man with an acoustic guitar shtick and there are a great many bluesmen that most people have never heard of that are incredibly soulful and out of this world guitar players, John walks this huge difference in styles like a tightrope made of dental floss. He plays guitar like a bluesman; finger picked, slapped and plucked until most people would cry out for mercy. It is this dichotomy that allows John Fries to tell a story two ways in the course of one song. " A unique and entertaining experience not to be missed!
