The Mississippi Conjure Duo will close out seven great nights of concerts as part of this year’s Jazz Marathon. Not your Grandmother’s blues, unless she was born on the North End of Mississippi. Created by two established musicians’ love of that North Mississippi sound, their three Kings of the blues are Kimbrough, Burnside and Payton!
This is a free event, open to all. You can also listen to the concert on the radio (91.1 FM) or on our web player, and even video stream it at WTJU’s YouTube channel. But concerts always sound better with you as part of the studio audience. WTJU is located at 2244 Ivy Rd in Charlottesville, right next door to Vivace. There is plenty of parking, both in our lot as well as the Sentara lot next door.
This week’s concerts are sponsored by the Charlottesville Jazz Society.

Heading up the band is the one of the hardest working bluesmen in the area; frontman, vocalist and harp player, Waverly Milor. A foundation of the Blues in Charlottesville, playing with bands like Hard Swimmin’ Fish, Wavelength, The Blow Birds and many more, bringing that wonderful, legitimate Blues voice to every size audience.
The driving force of the duo is Jack Roy, guitarist, slide guitarist, Cigarbox guitarist, Lap Steel, Didley Bow or anything with a string attached. Both musicians have made it to the Semi-Finals of the Internation Blues Challenge, Played countless Festivals around the Country, multiple albums in their resume and Jack played with both of Muddy Waters’ Sons on the road!
Together they bring together the one thing that unites them, Mississippi Deep Blues, whether it is one chord song or 5 chords, its all about the feeling of that Hill Country Sound! Well, Well, Well
