Teddy Johnson's Birthday Celebration

A few weeks ago, Jenn got to celebrate Teddy Johnson's "69th" birthday (again) at Teddy's Juke Joint in Zachary, Louisiana! They had been advertising Teddy's birthday celebration all over Facebook for weeks with these great ads below! At the end of the night, Jenn gifted Teddy one of her amazing documentingBlues collection prints that's framed in a vintage door. The photo showed Teddy and his wife Nancy dancing at one of Larry Garner's performances from 2013 at the juke joint. Jenn has been photographing blues musicians at Teddy's Juke Joint for years now, and has grown close with Teddy and Nancy. Thanks to James Huval for helping us catch the great moments!
