The featured musical guest this week is Hector Anchondo.

Hector is the 2020 International Blues Challenge top prize winner in the solo/duo category. He has also won the Memphis Cigar Box Guitar award for best guitarist in the solo/duo competition, while representing the Blues Society of Omaha, NE. Winning these awards is a very prestigious honor.

Anchondo is endorsed by Delaney Guitars and GHS Strings. He will continue to tour with the Hector Anchondo band while doing more solo shows. In Omaha, he is the creative force behind his own blues festival, “The Market for Blues Festival.”

So, come on out this Thursday night, June 17, at 7 p.m. and enjoy an evening of great musical entertainment with the Jackson Municipal Band and their special musical guest, Hector Anchondo. Bring a lawn chair or blanket for seating on the hill, and don’t forget the picnic snacks and drinks for your enjoyment while listening to the music. As always, the concerts are free.
