The 2013 Los Alamos County Summer Concert Series continues at 7 p.m. Friday, June 21 with what will be a fantastic concert up at the Ski Hill staring the Tupelo, Miss., group, the Homemade Jamz’ Blues Band. This family band grew up a couple of blocks from the home of Elvis Presley. They’re the most successful young blues band in the world. According to BB King, “In my 87 years, I’ve never seen something musically … so remarkable. These young kids have got energy, talent and do the blues proud with their own flavor. I believe they’ve got a great future ahead.” The lead singer and guitarist, Ryan Perry started playing guitar when he was nine and discovered he had amazingly fast and agile fingers. That was 10 years ago. The bassist is talented brother Kyle, 17 and their sister, Taya, 14 is becoming a tremendous drummer. HJBB has been featured on NPR’s “All Things Considered, PBS”, “The Tavis Smiley Show”, “CBS Sunday Morning” and “The Today Show.” They are the youngest band ever nominated for the International Blues Challenge Awards. They were nominated for Best New Band at the Blues Music Association’s 2009 Awards and the BMA’s Band of the Year award in 2010. They are a contemporary, rousing, good natured, top-tiered, modern electric blues and blues-rock band.
