Colvin Concerts: John Neafsey
John Neafsey is a native Rogers Parker whose two great loves are Chicago Blues and traditional Irish music. In his teens, he began sitting in with street bands at the Maxwell Street outdoor market, and later played with Pat Rushing, Johnny Embry, and the Bad Boys Blues Band. John is also the lead singer and guitarist for Parting Glass, a local trio that plays Irish, bluegrass, blues, and other roots music.
John is performing Classic 1950’s Chicago Blues in the styles of Little Walter, Jimmy Rogers, Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed, and more, for Colvin House.

While RSVP is free, there is a suggested donation in place of a ticket price at the door so that Colvin House can pay their talented, local artists and continue supporting the performing arts. They ask that you contribute $20 or $15/person toward paying the musicians and staff for their efforts in producing these community concerts at the Colvin House.
Colvin House cannot make change so please bring the exact amount you plan on donating. While they also accept Zelle & PayPal, they do prefer cash donations. Thank you!

For $20, valet parking is also available at the Malibu Condominiums (6007 N. Sheridan Rd.) public garage, just across the street, north of Colvin House. This parking can be validated by Colvin House for $2 off.
