Hickory – The City of Hickory’s Sails Original Music Series will feature American electric blues singer, songwriter, and musician Johnny Sansone on Friday, May 17. The free concert begins at 7 p.m. on Union Square in downtown Hickory.
The steamroller Johnny Sansone has overwhelmed audiences around the planet with his powerful vocals, sizzling blues harp, and mastery of his accordion and electric guitar playing. His sets are fully stocked with original songs from over 150 of his published titles.
A crowd favorite at every venue, Johnny turns out seamless energetic passion with his spellbinding mixture of blues, soul, swamp rock, and zydeco. His bareknuckle approach is reminiscent of a southern elder prophet that has lived on the hard road and draws his sermon from a deep, dark backwoods well. His performances are pure, unpretentious, and come with a full-grown swagger. Johnny Sansone is the personification of the finest that the New Orleans music scene has to offer.
