Lil Jimmy Reed

Blues legend Lil Jimmy Reed will perform for band and choir students of West Feliciana High School. One of the last living bluesmen from the first great wave of musicians who built the genre, Reed was born Leon Atkins in nearby Hardwood in the late 1930s, and became Lil Jimmy Reed after successfully substituting for an actual Jimmy Reed who failed to make a performance... and then died, leaving the name available. Noon. West Feliciana High School. Free and open to the public.
