Sonny Boy Terry has been blowin’ the harp around Houston for decades. He’s played with such notables as Jerry Lightfoot, Kinney Abair, Joe “Guitar” Hughes, Johnny Clyde Copeland and Calvin Owens. He’s also a founder of the Houston Blues Society and the leading light of Blues for Food Houston, an annual event benefiting the Houston Food Bank. We salute his commitment to both the Music and the City”.  - Big Easy Social and Pleasure Club.
