On warm summer evenings in Genoa, when the sun begins to dip behind the Sierra Nevada, and the shadows grow long, and the light turns amber and gold, people gather in the Genoa Park on the green grass with their picnic dinners to listen to music. Joey was born in Oneida, KY and raised in Winchester, KY. and he has the accent to prove it.
July 14th features Joey Carmon: "Guitar Man" Tribute show to Jerry Reed. Bring a picnic and a blanket to Genoa Town Park and enjoy an evening of free music!
Jerry Reed was a singer who became a good ol’ boy actor in car chase movies like Smokey and the Bandit, and was one of the greatest entertainers in the world. Everything about Jerry was distinctive: his guitar playing, writing, voice and especially his sense of humor. Talkin’ about good food Jerry once said, “Son, your tongue would beat the roof of your mouth out tryin’ to get to the next bite…”
“It ain’t a want, it’s a need… I gotta pick like Jerry Reed” – Joey Carmon
