Summer Fundraising Event - July 14th at Turtle Creek
Tickets are now for sale for Darke County Center for the Arts annual

Creek Golf Course; tickets cost $10. Thirsty Turtle will provide a

The music will kick off at 6:30 p.m. with popular local musicians
Higgins-Madewell performing their signature blend of roots, blues,
country, and classic rock. Blues guitar virtuoso and singer Jay Jesse
Johnson returns to headline the event. Johnson has rightfully been
dubbed “a powerhouse guitar rock force to be reckoned with.” The
Indiana native tours with his band that includes vocalist Angela Combs,
Reed Bogart on bass, Jeff “Smokey” Donaldson on drums, and Lee Evans on
the Hammond B3. His latest CD, Set the Blues On Fire, has won rave
reviews, earning Triple J acclaim from critics and fans alike as “a
modern-day blues master.” Praised for his technique, tone and
song-writing abilities, Jay Jesse Johnson is one of the most
electrifying guitarists you will ever hear, performing smoking slow
blues and fast-paced rocking boogie with masterful ease. The music is
sponsored by Matt & Angie Arnold, George & Becky Luce and the
Jordan Agency.
“Barbecue and Blues,” the annual fun-filled Darke County Center for the
Arts fundraiser featuring food for the body and music for the soul that
supports DCCA's Arts In Education programming and helps underwrite
their Family Theatre Series—providing another good reason for attending
the event. Simply knowing that you will be supporting these and other
programs provides sufficient motivation to get your tickets for DCCA's
“Barbecue and Blues.”
So take your lawn chair or blanket to Turtle Creek, get comfortable,
and enjoy great food and great music in the great outdoors with other
great people, all for a great cause. Of course, if the weather is less
than great, “Barbecue and Blues” will move inside the cozy confines of
