This is a benefit/tribute to famous bluesman, Blind Willie Johnson. Proceeds will benefit a fund to build him a memorial headstone. I’ll be playing a 25 minute acoustic set around 11. Also, some great slide playeres, Jon Dee Graham, and others will be playing. I’ve attached a press release below:

Austin to Honor the Great Blues/Gospel Performer Blind Willie Johnson

On June 3rd at Momo’s in Austin, Texas, a tribute will be held to honor the legend, a first of its kind. The benefit will raise money for a cenotaph to be erected in Blanchette Cemetery in Beaumont, TX where Johnson was buried in 1945. The concert is being organized by the Blind Willie Johnson Memorial Fund in connection with Texas musician Michelle Shocked and Kathleen Hudson, director of The Texas Heritage Music Foundation in Kerrville, Texas. Musicians are still needed for the event so if you’re a band or artist that is interested in contributing, please send inquiry to HYPERLINK “mailto:donate@blindwilliejohnsonfund.com“donate@blindwilliejohnsonfund.com for immediate consideration.

Blind Willie Johnson is considered one of the best slide guitarists of all time and even though his music was sent into space, he still does not have a grave headstone. Johnson was born in Independence, near Brenham, Texas in January of 1897. When Johnson was only three or four, his mother died. It is unknown for sure how Johnson became blind but according to “Angeline” Robinson (his self-proclaimed last wife), it was due to his stepmother throwing lye water into his face before the age of 10. Johnson would make money by playing and singing on the streets of several Texas cities. Legend has it that Johnson was arrested for nearly starting a riot when singing “If I Had My Way I’d Tear This Building Down” in front of a courthouse in New Orleans. Johnson recorded 30 songs over a period of three years for Columbia records from 1927-1930, many with Willie B. Harris, with whom he had one daughter. His records sold well but as the depression hit, the music industry was struck hard and Johnson would never record again. In the last ten years or so of his life, Johnson lived with his alleged wife, “Angeline”, in Beaumont, TX . He continued to sing and operated a House of Prayer (also their residence) at 1440 Forrest. He died in 1945 from pneumonia after sleeping on wet bedclothes in the ruins of his burned home.

Johnson’s influence has had a tremendous impact on many musicians and popular music. Some of the artists that have been affected by Johnson include Led Zeppelin (“Jesus Make Up My Dying Bed”, “It’s Nobody’s Fault But Mine”), Eric Clapton, Ralph Stanley, Bob Dylan, The Grateful Dead, and many, many more. Ry Cooder described Johnson’s “Dark was the Night, Cold was the Ground,” as “the most soulful, transcendent piece in all American music.” The Austin American Statesmen in 2003 quoted Jack White of the White Stripes as telling a sold-out audience at Stubb’s in Austin, “It’s good to be in Texas, the home of Blind Willie Johnson.“

Johnson’s “Dark was the Night…” was also included on the Voyager Golden Record alongside Bach, Mozart, Chuck Berry and others to portray the diversity and culture of life on Earth, should any intelligent life form find it.

“This event supports our mission statement to preserve and perpetuate traditions in Texas music,” says Kathleen Hudson, director of THMF.
