It is with a heavy heart that we share the news that beloved #Atlanta #Blues Icon, Beverly "Guitar" Watkins, passed away today, October 1, at the age of 80.⠀
⠀
A Blues legend in her own right, she played professionally since 1959 and has worked with notable acts such as James Brown, B.B. King, Otis Redding, and Ray Charles.⠀
⠀
Watkins was a strong supporter of our festival and performed for multiple AJF-related events throughout her lifetime. Most recently, she performed for the City's One Atlanta Jazz and Blues Concert in January and Live from @WoodruffPark during 31 Days of Jazz. ⠀
⠀
We hope you join us in mourning the loss of this musical icon.
