His shows are filled with the rib-aching laughter of terrific storytelling, the sweet melancholy of ballads and the passion of gritty blues. Joanna Connor makes her first appearance at The Green Parrot on Friday and Saturday, May 18 and 19, at 10pm. Upon her arrival in Chicago, it took Joanna but a few months to take the city's highly competitive blues circuit by storm. Connor simply kicks ass, ripping off a variety of scorching solos. I say Connor's a soprano Johnny Winter.

This one reclaims it all. The Head Hunter Junkanoos are from Ft. The Junkanoos are an African tradition of music with beating drums. Junkanoos music started in Africa and moved to the Bahama's and Caribbean and to South Florida. They are a colorful band with lots of energy.
