Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears Bring Passion To A Sold-Out Turf Club
The pairing of Black Joe Lewis and the Pimps of Joytime in a co-headlining tour is somewhat of an odd choice, at least on the surface. Each act has a totally different musical style, with Black Joe Lewis gravitating towards blues and rock and roll, and the Pimps centering on funk, disco and world music.

Whereas Burnside is a bearer of the blues tradition, Black Joe Lewis takes forms of the blues and spins it in a funky rock and roll blender
