Music in the Gardens: Boats, Blues, and BBQ
August 1
Event Navigation

Mark your calendars for a special edition of Music in the Gardens, a throwback to Boats, Blues, and BBQ. Before there even was the Legacy Gardens, we were rocking it out on the museum campus. Now, for our 20th anniversary season, we’re throwing it back to this iconic event with a Saturday concert featuring, you guessed it, Boats, Blues, and BBQ.
We’re featuring a celebrated blues guitarist out of Chicago, Toronzo Cannon. With his richly detailed, truth-telling original songs, blistering, inventive guitar work and impassioned vocals, Cannon is on the cutting edge of today’s contemporary blues scene and is known as one of the genre’s most creative artists. His sound is inspired by his heroes, including Hound Dog Taylor, Muddy Waters, Elmore James, Albert King, Son Seals and Jimi Hendrix. From serious to humorous, his imaginative songs are fueled by his powerful, cathartic guitar solos and his soulfully authoritative voice.
We’ll be posting more event details and links to tickets soon!
