In concert at Hill Center: Jontavious Willis!
Every generation or so, a young bluesman bursts onto the scene and sends a jolt through the blues community like Jontavious Willis. Many fans of Willis regard him as an old soul. His style of playing the instruments and his voice touches the very roots of country blues. He brings back the true soul of the music. A newspaper headline once called him a “70-year-old bluesman in a 20-year-old body.” The 24-year-old multi-instrumentalist was nominated for a GRAMMY in 2020 for his latest album, Spectacular Class.
