Live Review: Jontavious Willis Weathers The Storm And Brings The Blues To The Ramkat
Blues reformer Jontavious Willis wraps 12-bar tribulations in real-world catharsis with sly humor, unrestrained finger picking and deft storytelling.
The 28-year-old Grammy nominated singer/songwriter from Greenville, Georgia, has played some of the country’s biggest stages opening for genre mainstays Taj Mahal and Keb’ Mo’ during their joint TajMo tour, but his stripped down, solo performance defines the modern-day Blues experience.
Willis radiates blues cred while bending the strings of Blues with self-penned, relevant songs that echo the past.
