In Loving Memory of Johnnie Johnson:  1924-2005
The Johnnie Johnson Blues & Jazz Society of Fairmont, W.V. is dedicated to honoring the Father of Rock 'N Roll, Johnnie Johnson.

The society sponsors the Annual Johnnie Johnson Blues & Jazz Festival held every summer in Johnnie's birthplace of Fairmont, West Virginia. National and regional blues musicians perform at the festival, named in honor of the great Johnnie Johnson. The Johnnie Johnson Blues & Jazz Society also promotes Blues & Jazz concerts throughout the year in Fairmont, W.V.

In 2006, the 5th Annual Johnnie Johnson Blues & Jazz Festival will be held on August 25-27, 2006 at Palatine Park in Fairmont, WV. This year's concert schedule will be announced soon!

About Johnnie: Johnnie Johnson wrote the music for Chuck Berry's greatest hits! Johnnie is considered one of the greatest blues pianists ever to have lived and influenced the entire evolution of rock 'n roll music. Johnnie was "rediscovered" in 1986, when Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards sought out Johnnie for the documentary, "Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll". Johnnie received a Congressional Citation in 1999, for his lifetime contributions to Blues & Jazz Music. Johnnie Johnson was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.

Rod Piazza and the Mighty Flyers
www.themightyflyers.com

You would think that after 36 years on the road as a professional musician, California harmonica player Rod Piazza would look at each show as just another days work without worrying about how he will be received by the crowd. After all, Piazza has played in front of literally millions of people over the years and has received lavish praise from fellow musicians and fans alike.

While most of the Blues finding it's way to disk these days carries the baggage of the Rock, Soul, Funk and other popular music that Blues artists and the general public have listened to since the 70's, Piazza remains steadfastly devoted to the Blues as they were played by first generation Blues artists in the 50's.
