Reading some e-mails and came across this. Rocky had mentioned this and it is good to see him getting some publicity. He is pretty well known in Mississippi. Probably could play festivals down there all summer. He also manages a stop at Ground Zero, Morgan Freeman's place in Clarksdale, MS.
Rocky will play solo and then come back to join Honeyboy Edwards.
Looks like a pretty good line-up.
