About the event
“Big A” is a current bluesman that performs regularly in Clarksdale. His natural showmanship that moves and plays with tremendous fun and passion personifies that one can hear authentic music in Clarksdale today… that is as good as it ever was historically. He is a regular staple at Ground Zero Blues Club & Red's Juke Joint in Clarksdale, MS.
Like his deep delta blues forefathers, young Anthony’s introduction to music was found in the church. His father, E.J. Johnson, was a gospel singer that performed with The Golden Stars gospel group. By age 6, Anthony started playing, and he hasn’t stopped since. He is professionally proficient on bass and guitar, and he also plays drums, keyboards, and is the lead vocalist in his current band, Big A and the Allstars.
Anthony is also a wonderful example of the success of the blues music education after-school program at the Delta Blues…
