The Downtown Blues Concert is a free show held

annually at the

Bo Diddley Community Plaza

Louisiana native Kenny Neal has won two Blues Music Awards

and was nominated for a Grammy, and is known for his soulful

 singing and excellent guitar and harmonica playing. 

Little Mike and the Tornadoes have been called this generation’s

closest thing to the original Chess Records sound. Little Mike

Hubert Sumlin, Pinetop Perkins, and Big Walter Jacobs.
