Blues musician J.D. Taylor says this is his fourth year performing at the Amp concert, and he is eager to be back.

“Of course it’s fresh. It’s kind of a new with me. It’s been a while since I’ve gotten out. My last live gig was February 2020 on Beale Street, and we were playing with Little Boys Blue, so it’s just been a while,” Taylor said.
Nunnery says the efforts to plan the Amp concert series every year meets up each summer on account of sponsors and the community.
