Wiregrass Blues Society - July Monthly Gathering
Tuesday, July 15
6:00 PM
Benchmark Craft Beer & Wines – Ozark, AL
Join us for an evening of music, memories, and community as we gather to honor the life and legacy of the late William “Willie” Burke.
“My friends call me Willie and I’m just a crazy long-haired dude who plays music.” – Willie Burke
Willie was more than a musician—he was a friend to many, a free spirit, and a true blues soul who left a lasting mark on all who knew him. Let’s raise a glass, share some stories, and celebrate the man we all loved.
Live music by Michael VanDusen & Josh Reeves – "Mike & Josh" A special tribute performance in Willie’s memory.
Come as you are and let the blues bring us together.
Hosted by the Wiregrass Blues Society – keeping the blues alive in the Wiregrass Area.
