Do you like blues? Real, gritty, authentic blues? Then you will NOT want to miss the Friday, March 18 KAC Live! Concert at the Kirkland Art Center. Multi-award winning artist Joe Waters is here to take Clinton by storm!
Playing a Cracker Barrel harmonica alongside his father Jack Waters at concerts, 5-year old Joe Waters decided early on that music was his future. He recorded his first album at age 10 with his father and it’s been all upwards from there! The 28-year old Dayton, Ohio native embraces the essence of classic blues in a mix of original compositions and soulful renditions of classic blues standards. The 2024 winner of the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee, Waters continues to wow with the prowess of his harmonica playing as well as guitar and voice.
Though his passion is classic blues, Waters can be considered a multi-genre artist, with strains of funk, folk and Americana coursing through his work. His first solo album, In the Hot Seat, was released in 2023, and his second, Joe Waters and the Back Porch Band, will be dropping in the summer of 2026. He plays with passion and a deep authenticity, the power of his voice and instruments wowing audiences everywhere.
Come on down to the Kirkland Art Center for some of the best blues you’ll ever hear live! Tickets are very affordably priced at $23 general admission, $15 students, $12 children.
