There are so many stories baked into the lineup of Clearwater Sea-Blues Festival, and one belongs to Milovan Dudic. Better known as Power Jimi, the guitarist is in the lineup with Mike Davis’ band, which plays in between headliners this weekend.
Dudic has played alongside Yugoslav trio YU Grupa and keyboardist Tihomir “Pop” Asanović, known for his collaborations with Frank Zappa and Ray Charles.
“I see blues music as a living conversation between cultures—something that continues to evolve every time musicians from different backgrounds meet in the same room,” he told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay in an email.
See that ethos in action, and sets from national headliners like North Mississippi Allstars this weekend.
