After the expected Rock and Roll numbers the audience was treated to an amazing blues twist to This Ole House that blew the whole house away.

He certainly didn’t disappoint when he performed Green Door which provided the finale to everyone’s night.

The show clearly portrayed his passion for blues, his roots, Americana and classic rock combining his ancestral links.
