joey gilmore

Joey Gilmore, Florida's finest bluesman, returns with his old school blues and soul for an evening of entertainment with his own brand of blues, soul and R&B. His alternating deep soulful and tenor vocals hearken back to the blues singers of the 50's and 60's, with tasteful, if not understated, guitar work that oozes the blues.
