Meet Bobby BlackHat Walters, one of Virginia’s most storied blues icons. Known as Virginia’s Blues Ambassador, Bobby BlackHat has spent more than five decades delivering soulful harmonica riffs and vocal performances that have opened for legends like B.B. King and Taj Mahal. A retired U.S. Coast Guard Commander and former Military Aide to the President, Bobby brings a lifetime of discipline, showmanship, and musical mastery to every stage. This December, he headlines the Bobby BlackHat Birthday Bash at the Ferguson Center for the Arts in Newport News, a night packed with Blues, soul, and celebration.
