    2018 Blues Stroll Performers [most acts will play two or three sets] Ike Turner, Albert King, and Freddy King taught, fed, and chastised Joe. It was sage wisdom from the masters themselves. Walker soon began to develop his own fiery, melodic, and always unpredictable guitar attack. He became very close friends with the late Mike Bloomfield of the Chi- cago Blues scene, who pushed Joe toward a more Rock-fueled direction. From 1975 to 1985, prior to joining Alligator Records, Joe released some 23 albums and CD’s and toured the world virtually non-stop.

  • Johnny Heaton, (Guitar, Bass, Banjo & Vocals)
    Johnny Heaton, (Guitar, Bass, Banjo & Vocals) I work in several areas of music – live performance, production, songwriting, recording, mastering and graphic design for CD's album covers, and promotional items. My main instrument is acoustic guitar but I also play electric guitar, bass, dobro and just enough banjo, drums and percussion to be somewhat comical. I am a guitarist, performing musician, producer, songwriter and artist. I have been playing professionally since 1971 Being born and raised in Waterford, Michigan (just outside of Detroit) has had a big influence on my style and music. From the early local rock scene featuring Michigan bands like the Bob Seger System, The Amboy Dukes, and The Frost, to Motown from the beginning with Little Stevie Wonder, the Supremes and the Funk Brothers this music all left it’s impression on me. During my career, I have performed with bands that have opened shows for Bob Seeger and the Silver Bullet Band, Spirit, Ten Years After, The Rockets, and The MC5. While living in California I played and recorded with Jeff Gold and the Travelers, Raspin Stewart and the Restless Rhythms as well as playing solo shows at places like the Troubadour, and Mommas Pajamas As a singer / songwriter I sing from the depth of my heart, and my songs tell of this incredible journey through life. And whether playing electric guitar, bass or acoustic guitar, the music has power and energy. From sensitive to insane, my approach is to support the lyrics with the power of the music.

  • On the Shoulders of Giants: How Aaron Sorkin's Sports Night
    ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS: How Aaron Sorkin’s Sports Night Portrayed the Sports Journalist as a Modern, Educated Professional While Still Fitting the Classic Molds of Journalists in Popular Culture. By Eric Alvarez Abstract Aaron Sorkin’s Sports Night focuses on the events that unfold in the newsroom of a nightly sports highlight show. The impulse of the series stems from the relationships amongst the show’s two anchors, three producers and its managing editor. As individuals, the journalists are smart, talented and dedicated in their professional lives. Yet, despite their capabilities and professionalism, each echoes characteristics and faces problems similar to those of journalists in classic popular culture. They often put the job over their personal lives and struggle when faced with the consequences. But in the end, they always tend to band together as a newsroom family. * * * “Five minutes to air. First team in the studio.1” The voice echoes through the newsroom at 10:55 p.m. It is the nightly wake-up call for the Sports Night team. Journalists both in front of the camera and in the control room scramble as the clock ticks toward show time. And then it starts. The one thing that gives the journalists a home, a family and a sense of accomplishment. ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS: How Aaron Sorkin’s Sports Night Portrayed the Sports Journalist as a Modern, Educated Professional While Still Fitting the Classic Molds of Journalists in Popular Culture. By Eric Alvarez 2 The team of anchors and producers creates a nightly, one-hour highlight show from New York, “the most magnificent city in the world.
