Music and Peace

The music community we experience

in Northwest Arkansas stretches to a broad region that includes parts of Missouri and Oklahoma. This entertainment is a staple of the region and draws many visitors who support not only music, but a number of other entertainment activities.

Ozark Blues Society wishes to embrace our regional music community and ask for a moment of Peace for the greater community as we follow the tragic events that occurred last night in Branson.

Walter Trout

Knocks It Out of the Park!

Last Sunday, July 8th, blues lovers in Northwest Arkansas got a chance to enjoy a musical legend, Walter Trout! Thank you to Meteor Guitar Gallery for hosting this event and allowing Ozark Blues Society to partner with you!

During the evening, Walter and his band were joined by his son, John Trout, for several songs. Clearly the apple does not fall far from the tree! Young John played lead along with his dad and you could see how proud Walter was of his son. What an amazing duo. His son was fantastic.

Walter brought lots of energy to the stage. He told a number of stories about bands he has played with, including a funny story about John Lee Hooker.

Walter also talked seriously about his liver transplant and the struggle to get back on his feet. He shared how he had to learn to walk,

talk, and play guitar again.

Ozark Blues Society wishes all the best to Walter Trout and his band!

Check out www.waltertrout.com for all the latest on Walter and his band.

Thanks for OBS Board members, Bill Baird (reporting) and Bruce Barton (photos) for contributing to this article.
