Speakeasy features Judy Page on vocals. Judy was recently featured, along with fourteen other Central Illinois artists, in the PBS “Illinois: Art in the Works” series.

Judy is joined by a group of very skilled musicians. Gary Adkisson on bass, Bryan Moore on drums, Dave Parkinson on tenor sax, alto sax and flute, Steve Degenford on guitar, and Dorsey Doss on keyboards, round out this talented group.
They will play a variety of music styles, ranging from jazz to Rhythm & Blues.
Speakeasy will appear at the Central Illinois Bluesfest on Saturday, August 31 with Preston Jackson in the Jazz Tent.
Judy and Steve Degenford have a duo act that performs regularly at French Toast in Peoria Heights every other Friday, beginning August 30, 7-10 p.m. They also have scheduled dates at the Peoria Riverfront Museum Plaza, 5-8 p.m., for September 6 and 20.
