Rounding out the month from Cottonwood is harmonica extraordinaire, Ray DeSylvester, who will be accompanied by none other than Chuck Hall from Phoenix. Ray will give you that old school Chicago feel, playing many of the standards from Little Walter, Willie Dixon and many others and Chuck will do what he does, which is always cool! Both Ray and Chuck are members of the Arizona Blues Hall of Fame.
