This year at Summerfest my good friend, Jon Paris, returned to rock the Harley Davidson Stage!!
Jon has played with everybody in rock'n roll. Every Monday night in New York City, he plays at B.B. Kings nightclub called Lucille's. Les Paul was a very good friend of his and they often played together at Lucille's and The Iridium. He has toured with the likes of Link Wray, Bo Didley and for 10 years, he was part of Johnny Winters band.
When I was 17, I lived in the same apartment building as Jon, and he and his band the Ox, helped me grow up! Seriously, my photo career started with Jon and The Ox. Thanks to Jon and his band, I was trained with rock'n roll photography! It was better than what any school could teach me!
In the photos here, drummer Ed Sison is shown and he was also a part of The Ox! Fast Eddie Sison, now plays with the Booze Brothers all over Wisconsin.
The bass player shown here, Dave Kasik, is a high school friend, and has played with the Stone-Cohen Band, Leroy Airmaster, and helps out Jon from time to time.
Enjoy some photos of Jon and the boys, at Summerfest, when they opened the show for Buddy Guy!
Please, join me on Facebook, at Rich Zimmermann Photography if you haven't, to keep up to date with my rock'n roll photography.
Thanks,
Rich Zimmermann

Last Saturday night at the Harley Davidson Roadhouse stage at Summerfest, I had a bit of a reunion with some old friends!
Steve Cohen and his band Leroy Airmaster played and they were awesome! That is next week"s blog.
Good friend Jon Paris, brought Ed Sison to play drums with him and it was almost a reunion of The Ox Band. All that was missing was guitar player and vocalist Bob Metzger to make it a full reunion.
Dave Kasik played bass with the guys and it was a great show! Dave did double work that night playing for Jon and Leroy Airmaster!
Enjoy a few photos of the night!
Thanks,
