This exciting Santa Fe / Texas based band is head up by one of the top-5 Americana Chart artists, Jay Boy Adams who has toured with ZZ Top and Stephen Stills. Zenobia has performed on Broadway and on numerous recordings.
Jay Boy Adams spent a number of years honing his craft playing in bands in Houston and then in Midland, Texas with noted bluesman Johnny Heartsman. In 1972 Adams landed an opening slot in Lubbock for ZZ Top, whose manager Bill Ham was impressed enough to recruit Adams as the group’s regular opening act.
After four years on the road with ZZ Top Adams hit the touring circuit in earnest again for the next six years, sharing concert bills with such artists as The Allman Brothers Band, Joe Cocker, Jackson Browne, Marshall Tucker Band, Bonnie Raitt, The Kinks and many others.
Country star Lee Roy Parnell invited Adams to join him onstage at a show in 1997, and his songwriting muse and love for playing guitar and performing returned with a vengeance. He has since toured on George Strait’s 1999 Country Music Festival, headlined the Kerrville Folk Festival and also toured Europe as a special guest star with The Texas Tornados.
Following the 2007 release of The Shoe Box, he hit the road again as a special guest opening for Stephen Stills. Adams has also joined the Southern rock super group Brothers of the Southland alongside such notables as Jimmy Hall of Wet Willie, Henry Paul of The Outlaws and Blackhawk, “Dangerous” Dan Toler of the Allman Brothers, Steve Gorman of The Black Crowes, Bo Bice of “American Idol” fame and other top players.
Jay Boy Adams is now touring with Zenobia and has the great pleasure of having a fantastic band! Check out www.jayboyadamsandzenobia.com to get a taste of the evening.
The Blues Festival will kick off on Thursday evening March 7th with local musicians Eric and Robin Miller performing Blues from 6-9 p.m. Eric and Robin are a fantastic father and son duo who are loved by audiences of all ages.
