Experienced musicians present blues show

William Howse and Jack Pearson are two extraordinary musicians who have been playing together for more than 20 years. The combination of their exceptional talent as individual musicians and their songwriting skills makes for a duo that presents a captivating show every time. They will be giving a presentation at The Arts Center of Cannon County on Friday, Aug. 24 at 7:30 p.m.

Blues harmonica master, William Howse is one of the few true bluesmen around today, having established a playing style in the tradition of John Lee Williamson, Big Walter and Deford Bailey. Renowned guitarist Jack Pearson Jack is regarded as one of the best blues/rock guitarists playing today and is probably best known for his blues/rock lead and slide guitar playing as a member of The Allman Brothers Band from 1997 to 1999. Merge the talent and experience of these two fine musicians, and the result is a powerful blues collaboration. Give them two chairs, a resonator guitar and a belt of harmonicas, and the result is an authentic acoustic Delta blues duo.
