Jeff Golub Band featuring Henry Butler
Presented by Berks Jazz Fest at Gerald Veasley's Jazz Base Club March 23, 2012 Part of the 22nd annual Boscov's Berks Jazz Fest.
Guitarist Jeff Golub is a Berks Jazz Fest favorite—and the fest is thrilled to have him back this year. Golub's life has been turned upside down recently, as he has lost his sight in both eyes over the summer—ironically, while touring with pianist Henry Butler, who has been blind since birth.
