   If there was ever a time for newspapers to SING THE BLUES...this is it! See you at the Inland Annual Convention in Chicago. * * * * * The Joanna Connor Band is a frequent attraction not only at leading blues nightspots but also as a featured act at major festivals in the USA and Canada. Joanna has also developed a strong following in Europe, South America and Japan. As a result of many overseas appearances, in Germany she became very popular after being featured several times on national television. * * * * * John Primer has played with or opened for Willie Dixon, Magic Slim, and the "Hoochie Coochie" man himself, Muddy Waters. He has since toured extensively in support of his ten solo albums to date. With John Primer's strong traditionalist blues phrasing and lightning fast slide techniques, few artists can match him. A master storyteller and songwriter, his catalog of songs is endless and his sound is unforgettable. |
