Tyrone "Shortleg" Johnson and Some White Boys
It's 1967 and legendary blues singer Tyrone "Shortleg" Johnson has found himself on a second rate teen dance show backed by "a bunch of hippies".and he ain't Happy! There will be fussin', fightin' and signifyin' throughout the weekend! The new play from Wayne Harris is a fun and thought provoking chronicle of an old school and slightly inebriated blues singer let loose on a sound stage while taping a 60s era TV teen dance show. While the director frantically tries to deal with technical difficulties on the set Tyrone takes the opportunity to speak his mind about various subjects from roadside whorehouses to the co-opting of the blues by white America to."how to get up under that beat, make it nasty".
It's a hybrid solo performance backed by a jammin' 6 piece blues band filled with such great blues tunes as "Wang Dang Doodle", "Don't Start Me Talkin', "Back Door Man"and many more!
