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. And in honor of our 20th Anniversay, this will be a free concert! You will still have to claim tickets, however, more details on how to do that coming soon!

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.
