Davy Knowles first burst onto the scene in 2007 with his band Back Door Slam, garnering rave reviews, national US television appearances (Jimmy Kimmel Live, Good Morning America), extensive triple-A radio airplay, and two top 5 Billboard Blues charting albums. Since then, Knowles has independently released two more studio albums, 2014’s The Outsider and 2016’s Three Miles From Avalon, which also hit the top 5 on the Billboard Blues chart. An EP, 1932, showcasing his talents on acoustic guitar, specifically a 1932 National acoustic guitar, was released in early 2017.

Things have changed over this last year, and our venues are a little quieter than we're used to. But we'll continue to adapt and bring you the best regional, national, and international performances. We thank you for supporting us.
The Dennos Museum Center and The Ramsdell Center for the Performing Arts are collaborating on a special Windy City Line Up this spring. Our audiences in the Northwest Lower Michigan Region are invited to join us online for two Chicago Blues performances. Watch a live recording of Davy Knowles on March 26th and Toronzo Cannon on April 9th on the Dennos Museum Center Youtube channel. Both Youtube Premieres will be streamed starting at 7:30 p.m. EST.
Both concerts are free to attend, and will be pre-streamed by a live Zoom session with each performer starting at 7:00 p.m. EST.
These pre-recorded sets were recorded live just for you, our audiences. We wanted to bring a little bit of the Chicago Blues to your living room for your enjoyment, from the Windy City to your couch with great sound and video. Our performers have also provided some other content that will be shared with our local schools and students. We appreciate their willingness to help educate the next generation of Blues legends.
While our Windy City Line Up is free, we hope you consider giving a gift to the museum and to the Ramsdell Regional Center for the Arts to support future programs and help us continue to make them accessible to those in our region.
This engagement is supported by the Arts Midwest Touring Fund, a program of Arts Midwest that is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, with additional contributions from Michigan Council for Arts & Cultural Affairs and the Crane Group.
Program support is also provided by Westshore Community College and Northwestern Michigan College.
