An afternoon concert and workshop with an artist called “the joyous embodiment of the future of acoustic blues.” Articulate, enthusiastic and immensely talented, Hubby Jenkins is one of the brightest lights in a new generation of African American musicians. With special guest Hank Imhof. Admission includes “Blind Willie Johnson 101”, a post-concert Master Class focusing on the slide guitar techniques of that revered gospel blues artist (1897-1945). Like former bandmates The Carolina Chocolate Drops, Hubby goes deep, seeking blues from before it was blues, ragtime, jug band and string band music that became jazz and country... deeply American musical forms that all grew out of human experiences, stark social realities, and seismic changes in American culture. Sunday afternoon, November 2 at Champions in Highspire. MORE
