Rhythm & Blues Tour
We are excited to announce the Rhythm & Blues Tour at the Inland Press Association Annual Convention.

•8:00 - 9:15 pm: Electric blues set with John Primer and the Real Deal Blues Band (see details below)
•Deep Dish Chicago Style Pizza, Assorted Appetizers and Tossed Salad
•Beer, Wine and Soft Drinks
Buses will leave from the hotel around 6:00 pm - more details at the Inland registration desk
This is completely casual - please wear blue jeans and your official "Blues Tour" T Shirt (available at the Inland Registration Desk during check-in).
Our capacity is limited to the first 250 attendees - and is on a first-come, first-served basis.

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.
