JW Gilmore is a master storyteller, a demon on the harp, a well-versed musician and, above all, a showman extraordinaire. From slow dirty Blues to frenetic swing, JW keeps audiences laughing, smiling and dancing into the night. He has been playing harmonica for over 20 years, from Baton Rouge to Ft. Lauderdale, playing with greats like Tabby Thomas, Chris Thomas King, Louisiana Red, Todd Hart, and Joey Gilmore.
JW is a Blues performer that takes to heart the legacy of the legendary bluesmen that have come before him. He’s much more Muddy than Stevie Ray, more Little Walter than Eric Clapton, he plays a pure Blues rather than rock versions of Blues classics.
Joining JW Gilmore will be Beulah Mae and Professor Quasar! The show is free and runs from 7-9 at the Thomas Center, 302 NE Sixth Ave. Join us!
