Reserved seating for the Saturday, March 14 Blues Bash IV featuring Johnny Winter and John Dee Holeman has SOLD OUT, and the venue has added a limited number of Standing Room Only tickets for sale.
Johnny Winter has been one of the most respected singers and guitar players in rock for more than 30 years. Throughout the 1970s and '80s, Johnny was the unofficial torch-bearer for the blues, championing and aiding the careers of his idols like Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker.

John Dee Holeman was born in Orange County, North Carolina, in 1929, and has been playing the blues since the age of 14. His repertoire ranges from the older Piedmont country blues to the electric sounds of Lightnin' Hopkins and B.B. King. In 1988, his achievements as a master Piedmont bluesman earned him a National Heritage Fellowship, the highest cultural award of the National Endowment for the Arts. He also is the 1994 recipient of the North Carolina Folk Heritage Award.
“We are thrilled to feature Johnny Winter this season,” Heidi Stump, executive director, said. “The Blues Bash is always such a popular show, and Johnny and John Dee Holeman are dynamic pairing for this event.”
The fourth annual Blues Bash is presented as part of The Clayton Center’s 2008-09 season. Next up, The Clayton Center will present flamenco rumba guitarist Jesse Cook and band Friday, March 27 at 8pm.
