The MainstayBlues series concludes for this year with Delta blues magic from Johnny and Zep in a free outdoor concert on the back deck of the Mainstay in Rock Hall, MD on Saturday August 30 at 7:00 p.m. Bring a comfortable chair. The concert will move indoors to the Mainstay in case of rain or extreme heat.
The Mainstay’s free outdoor summer concert series is sponsored by People’s Bank, The Rock Hall Business Association, The Kent County Arts Council and The Mainstay. This is also the final concert in the free outdoor series.
Johnny Never and Zep Harpo (AKA Seth Holzman) are a dynamic duo of the Delta Blues. Johnny’s exquisite finger style guitar work and passionate voice mesh perfectly with Seth’s deep range of harmonica styles and sounds in a mix of soft blues ballads, intense Delta slide moans and driving Little Walter and Muddy Waters riffs.
In 2011, Johnny, along with his band, was one of only three national acts selected by the Philadelphia Folk Song Society to perform in a concert honoring the 100th birthday of blues legend, Robert Johnson. Seth has performed with Muddy Waters, Koko Taylor, John Mooney, Roomful of Blues, Dave “Honeyboy” Edwards, Magic Slim, Big Jack Johnson, Ronnie Earl, and other dignitaries of the blues.
