Before the founding of 4 Blues, Larry Taylor and Barrelhouse Bonni, as individual artists, began intentionally reviving blues and soul music, partnering with other musicians (see VIDEO with singer Katherine Davis) with Larry's band the Soul Blues Healers ; community groups and institutions to present concerts, history talks, and jams free for all ages. (Thank you, Chicago Dept. of Culture and Special Events, Chicago Park District, Chicago Public Libraries, and nonprofits including Bethel New Life, Unity Park, Soul City Corridor, Garfield Park Conservatory, St. Martins and Third Unitarian Churches, and Lawndale Popup Spot. And to you who made donations!) In this video, Larry's band partnered with singer Katherine Davis to let the good times roll at the 2023 GhanAgain African festival presented by Chicago Austin Youth Travels outside at Austin Town Hall Park.
