Jontavious Willis is resolved in his mission: to reinvigorate today’s blues with the spirit of the past. Drawn to a time when the blues were plentiful and rhythm reigned supreme, Jontavious leverages his unique sound - a synthesis of his Georgia heritage and the rich history of the blues - to get the world dancing again. A Grammy-nominated musician and songwriter, Jontavious performs original, toe-tapping tunes in the style of Delta, Piedmont, and Texas Blues. With a bawdy, playful sense of humor, he channels the lively “rent parties” and “juke joints” of yesteryear, imparting the vitality of the blues across communities today.

His new album, West Georgia Blues, is self-produced featuring a full band. Jontavious considers himself an ambassador to the blues, and this latest album brings the versatility of the genre right to the forefront. While tackling time-honored themes of heartbreak, hardship, and resilience, Jontavious also reminds us that the blues are meant to bring us together in times of celebration through song and dance.

Personnel: Jontavious Willis (guitar, vocals); Ethan Leinwand (piano, Wurlitzer); Jayy Hopp (drums, acoustic guitar); Rodrigo Mantovani (upright bass). Guest musicians: Lloyd Buchanan (vocals track 1); Jon Atkinson (guitar track 9).
