Cultural Arts Series: Ivas John in Concert
Originally from Carbondale, Ivas and the band play extensively throughout the Midwest in over 200 live performances a year, sharing stages with such top shelf acts as Leon Russell, Guitar Shorty, Nick Moss, Lil’ Ed and the Blues Imperials, and the Chicago Rhythm and Blues Kings to name a few. The Ivas John Band is quickly building a reputation as one of the region’s most original and entertaining blues acts. The success of the band and their debut album “Street Music” recently earned them a spot on PBS as part of the nationally televised American Roots program. For more information, visit the band’s website: www.ivasjohn.com.
