by Mo Allyn | Feb 20, 2019
The week ahead serves up music ranging from heavy metal to new age rap.
Jontavious Willis
At the tender age of 22, Jontavious Willis plays the blues with the heart and soul of a man who has lived multiple lifetimes. Growing up singing in the church in Greenville, GA, Willis was inspired to play the blues after watching a Muddy Waters music video on YouTube.
Less than a decade since that fateful music video viewing, Jontavious Willis has been recognized by blues greats such as Taj Mahal and Paul Oscher as a prodigy.
