July 15, 2007

PORTSMOUTH NH – Considered one of the most important Blues practitioners of our time, T.J. Wheeler brings his audience from Delta Blues to New Orleans second line jazz to his own contemporary blues and jazz original compositions.

T. J.’s blues and jazz education program Hope, Heroes, and The Blues has reached over 170,000 children in some of our nation's largest cities, through the rural delta regions of the Mississippi River, the White Mountains of New Hampshire, Washington state and even to the Arctic Circle in Finland.

The Prescott Park Arts Festival Mid-Week Concert Series runs every Wednesday 7 PM to 9 PM until August 15 and includes Compaq Big Band (8/1), USAF Band of Liberty – Pops (8/8), and MacTalla Mor (8/15).

Prescott Park Arts Festival does not charge an admission fee for any of its events but does rely on donations given at the gate. For this festival, the suggested donation is $5 per person.
