BBQ
and Blues another DCCA hit
By Paige Burns
Turtle Creek Golf Course recently hosted a public event for lovers of
barbecue and blues music. With good quality food and some music, the
atmosphere of the night was alive with fun and entertainment.
The crowd began showing up around 6 p.m. while Cincinnati Blues artist,
Jay Jesse Johnson, and local favorites Higgins-Madewell began to set up
their equipment for a night full of blues music.
Before relaxing and listening to the music provided for the evening,
people began to order their favorite beers and the special barbeque
dinner provided by The Thirsty Turtle Lounge. While some people decided
to sit in the Thirsty Turtle dining area to eat their dinners, others
decided to eat outside at provided picnic tables or in their own lawn
chairs.
Around 6:30 p.m., artist Jay Jesse Johnston introduced his uncle who
was stepping in for Johnston’s brother who couldn’t make it to the
event. Johnston played multiple cover songs and even some of his own
songs while kids played in the grass and adults talked amongst
themselves.
“We’re playing tag and I’m winning!” exclaimed an excited 7-year old
Megan Robert.
Many kids were off playing their own made up games rather than enjoying
the Blues music being played.
“I like to listen to music but not this music,” said 10-year Kevin
Ross.
Although many of the kids would rather play games than listen to the
Blues, adults enjoyed themselves during this night of fun. Between
eating quality food, reuniting with old friends, listening to the
Blues, and spending time with family, mostly everyone seemed to be
enjoying themselves.
After about an hour, Johnston gave the spotlight over to local band
Higgins-Madewell, who then proceeded to play cover songs of old Blues
music.
After putting on an exciting show, Higgins-Madewell left the stage to
interact with the audience. With all of the conversation, relaxation,
food, and music, the night was one to remember for anyone that attended.
