John Mayall with Michael Jordan

The Ponte Vedra Concert Hall welcomes legendary blues artist John Mayall, who has played with such greats as Eric Clapton, Mick Taylor and John McVie over his long career going back to the 60s. He will perform along with Michael Jordan on Wednesday, May 13, 2015. 

Mayall was an integral part of The British Blues Boom of the late 60s, and went on to form a professional group under the name John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. Eric Clapton joined the group a couple of years alter after quitting the Yardbirds. 

His unique take on the Chicago-style blues he'd grown up listening to soon brought him fame in the U.S. His 1969 acoustic live album, The Turning Point, went gold, and the album's hit song "Room To Move" became a rock classic. Mayall released several albums in the 90s that have set new standards in rock blues: Behind The Iron Curtain, Chicago Line, and the Grammy-nominated Wake Up Call.

Michael Jordan has taken the art of acoustic guitar to new heights. By combining alternate tunings, percussion on the guitar body, and playing the instrument flat on his lap, Jordan draws a whole new sound from this classic instrument. With his songwriting abilities and haunting voice added to these new techniques, the result is unforgettable.
