\"Johnny <\/span><\/p>\n

Johnny Kunk\u2019s Birthday Blues Bash is coming up Sunday, November 22 at 6 pm. It is being held at Big Mic\u2019s BBQ and Saloon in Kuna. The festivities will include a show by Johnny as he performs his signature Mississippi Muddy Water Blues Music from 6 to 9pm. Johnny\u2019s is a popular Boise bluesman and it\u2019s great that Big Mic\u2019s is hosting his 26th<\/sup>Birthday. Pre-show fun will start at 5pm. <\/span><\/p>\n

Johnny has played at Big Mic\u2019s<\/a> several times and \u201cBig Mike\u201d Larson has this to say, As I have said many times JBK is a force behind his Mississippi Muddy blues music. Big Mic’s Saloon & BBQ SMOKE HOUSE is Honored to celebrate and host Johnny’s 26th Birthday. If you haven\u2019t met Johnny you owe it to yourself to come have a listen. AS his soul talk’s through his music. This young tal<\/i><\/span><\/span>e<\/i><\/span><\/span>nted man has a past in his soul he is only going to be 26 and his music expresses he’s been around for a century if not centuries! I always tell him to remember us when he transitions to the Big Stage and come back and play for us he met along the way. He chuckled humbly and said he will! I am excited for where <\/i><\/span><\/span>J<\/i><\/span><\/span>ohnny Boy Kunk is headed with his tal<\/i><\/span><\/span>e<\/i><\/span><\/span>nted Blues music. Definitely a musician that adds to his fan base every time new ears get a listen to his signature sound!<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"JohnnyJohnny Boy Kunk takes you back to the days of Howlin\u2019 Wolf and Muddy Waters, <\/span><\/span>old bluesmen that performed a gritty, crunchy electric guitar. Johnny\u2019s semi-hollow body electric guitar is perfect for his one man stomp blues that he performs. <\/span><\/span>He also plays a resonator guitar and uses a slide and even an occasional pocket knife! All totaled, he produced some high-energy blues that can captivate any audience. Marisol Larson is also thrilled to be hosting J<\/span><\/span>ohnny Kunk\u2019s Birthday Blues Bash <\/span><\/span>and said, <\/span><\/span>J<\/i><\/span><\/span>ohnny’s old soul in our modern world is our gateway to connect with an era and a sound that is so rich in roots & soul. We are nothing short of “blessed” to have Johnny Boy Kunk amongst us with his Mississippi Muddy Water Blues, here in the Treasure Valley.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHNNY BOY!!! <\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

W<\/span>ell, of course The Boise Beat<\/em> could not go without letting Johnny weigh in on his own <\/span>birthday. He said, <\/span>I am real excited for playing Big Mic’s for my birthday this year. I have never been real big on celebrating my own birthdays and enjoy a much more laid back atmosphere of folks enjoying themselves naturally. But that is exactly why I chose to reach out to Big Mic for hosting a party at his joint; his place IS that laid back, natural environment where everyone enjoys themselves. The BBQ is a great fit for my blues-loving folks and the family-like feel from the staff always seems appreciated\u00a0by my friends in the past<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

B<\/span>ig Mic\u2019s BBQ and Saloon will be having some tasty specials along with their regular menu of delicious BBQ treats on Sunday. <\/span>BBQ Burgers, Wings, Smokehouse Shrimp and pitmaster Salads <\/span>will be available<\/span>. <\/span>Eight<\/span> mac & cheese bowls <\/span>are <\/span>always made fresh to order from scratch. <\/span>Smoked Brisket on a Bagel is just so incredibly good it is a must have! The Boise Beat highlighted some of their foods here<\/a>. B<\/span>ig Mic\u2019s has weathered this year, providing great BBQ for people even when all they could do is pick it up and take it home so they could enjoy something other than food cooked at home once in a while.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Johnny Kunk\u2019s Birthday Blues Bash is but one day in this year. Johnny talked about it, saying, <\/span>This year 2020 has been a lot of division and separation\u00a0amongst people for many reasons. I too have felt lost during all this confusion and being able to invite my friends of all backgrounds to come together and enjoy a night of good times on their own pace has been something I have wanted to do for a while. Individuals\u00a0are so complex with their beliefs and opinions; so being able to <\/i><\/span>Wel<\/i><\/span>connect people with the three essentials is my pleasure… That is Blues, BBQ, n Booze.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

J<\/span>ohnny Boy Kunk has been prolific with his song writing and his album releases. He just had this to add to wrap up his musical feeling currently, saying that, <\/span>Lately I haven’t written any new lyrics, but rather just composing new in-the-moment tunes at my recent shows. I just feel this melody in\u00a0 my soul and I go for it. Sometimes I throw some lyrics or a lesson into it, but it’s just feel good music expressing that moment; and I feel it’s a needed thing for many these days… Just being able to speak your mind with freedom despite other’s judgement or scrutiny. It’s been a form of expression left up for individual interpretation… and thats JUST the beauty in it for myself.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Johnny Kunk\u2019s Birthday Blues Bash <\/span>will feature plenty of good food and delicious BBQ. Of course, there are Big Mic\u2019s Specialty Smoked Drinks, tasty cocktails and excellent craft beers on tap. Located in downtown Kuna, Big Mic\u2019s is a short drive from anywhere in the Treasure Valley. Take this opportunity to enjoy one of Boise\u2019s true <\/span>masters of Mud Stomp Blues on his 26<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> Birthday, while you enjoy one of the Treasure Valley\u2019s true masters of not only smoked BBQ but smoked beverages and cocktails too. This should prove to be a truly magical evening.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Whether he's looking for the best ceviche in Colombia, the best poke in Hawaii, the best tequila in Jalisco or the best Taiwanese Beef Roll in Los Angeles and Banh Mi in Ho Chi Minh City; it's all good food! He also loves a good drink. He's had Mai Tais in Hawaii, Bourbon in Kentucky, Tequila in Mexico and Rum in Jamaica. His wine escapades have taken him to Napa, Sonoma, the Willamette Valley and Idaho's Sunnyslope wine Trail. And he's had beer all over the world! Music is another of Ed's passions, writing and interviewing many classic rock, rock and blues musicians. Getting the great stories of road experiences from them is a particular delight. Traveling also fits in with Ed's writing, exploring all over to find the most interesting places to visit, even in out of the way areas. Ed lives in Boise and is searching for the best finger steaks in town.","url":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/author\/edsails\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4157","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4157"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4157\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4166,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4157\/revisions\/4166"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
