TGIF Jazz July 11: Johnny “V” Vernazza Band

by The Editors on July 11, 2008

Johnnv Bwportrait 0After tonght’s TGIF Jazz In The Park rockin’ blues performance by guitar virtuoso Johnny “V” Vernazza and his band we can all wave good-bye to the Eastern Front and the miles of track homes that surround Stagecoach Park, because this is the last show on the ball field all summer. And it’s going to be a good one.

Johnny V has played guitar since 1963, but it was as a member of the Elvin Bishop Band that he gained the most notoriety. With six albums, endless touring, and the number three hit song in the country (Fooled Around And Fell In Love) Johnny and Elvin basically created the dual lead guitar style that is still a part of the southern rock sound today.

The show runs from 6 to 8 PM at Stagecoach Park. And the dance floor is huge, so don’t forget your dancing shoes.
