Visiting Artists
DOJO is proud to have hosted talented musicians who bring energy and creativity to our space. Each performance adds to the growing reputation of our venue as a place where artists of all levels can connect, collaborate, and share their sound with the community.
The Rumble, formed in 2021 and are multi-Grammy-nominated artists, bringing the vibrant spirit of New Orleans to every performance. Fronted by Big Chief Joseph Boudreaux Jr., the group blends Mardi Gras Indian funk, brass band traditions, jazz, and hip-hop into a sound that honors the city’s musical roots while pushing them forward. The Rumble made history as the first traveling band to perform on DOJO’s West Patio, setting the tone for many unforgettable shows to come.
Known as the “Queen of Blues Guitar,” Joanna Connor is a powerhouse musician whose fiery slide guitar and soulful voice have made her a defining force in modern blues. After moving to Chicago in 1984, she quickly earned her place alongside legends like Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, and Koko Taylor, later releasing her acclaimed debut Believe It and touring the world. With chart-topping albums like 4801 South Indiana and her latest work with The Wrecking Crew 23’, Joanna continues to captivate audiences with her unmatched energy and deep connection to the roots of American music. DOJO was honored to welcome her as a visiting artist, bringing her unmistakable sound and spirit to our stage.
