Lonnie Brooks to headline first Urbana Blues, Brews and BBQ Festival
If you happen to see this black dude wearing a cowboy hat, driving south on Interstate 57 on a motorcycle with a Gibson 335 guitar and Goldtone amp strapped on back, that's Lonnie Brooks heading to Urbana.
"I'll tell you, if I wasn't scared to ride a motorcycle, I'd get one to go to concerts, although I don't read about that many people getting killed on a motorcycle these days," Brooks says from his Chicago home. "I'd sure save money on gas, though."
