One of northeast Arkansas’ most experienced bands, Jeannie and the Guys, will perform at KASU’s fourth Bluesday Tuesday concert to be held at the Newport Country Club, 703 Walker Drive, Newport. The July 13 concert begins at 7 p.m. and is free and open to the public.

KASU will pass the hat to help pay the musicians. Although the band has had various members over the years, the core lineup includes Jean Hendrix, Zyndall Raney, Marcus Grady, and Doug Greeno. Sonny Burgess, who co-founded the group, frequently performs with Jeannie and the Guys when not fulfilling obligations with his main band, the Pacers. Jeannie and the Guys play most Saturday nights for the dancers and the audience at the Silver Moon in Newport.

Bluesday Tuesday concerts are held on the second Tuesday night each month at the Newport Country Club, 703 Walker Drive, on the southwest edge of town, near Newport High School. There is no membership fee or cover charge, and the public is welcome. For details, contact KASU station manager Mike Doyle at ext. 3486, or see the NewsPage release.
