YOU?LL LOVE THIS BLUES SINGER/GUITAR PLAYER!
Waxwing John Cowan sings and plays the old country blues in the styles in which they were first recorded, yet with his own deep feelings and expressiveness. And he plays them on guitars as old as the recordings he has mined for his material. Since his last concert here, in celebration of his CD, Wax has been studying the artistry of Charley Patton, one of the great performers from an area of Mississippi known as the Delta, and is looking forward to sharing the powerful music of Charley with you.
Also for this two-set concert Wax will be joined by his good friend Miller Wise who will accompany him on vintage mandolins and guitars, and sing a few numbers himself. At some point they will also strap on jug and kazoo and delight us with a few 2-man, 4-instrument jug band numbers. This concert will be filled with music, tradition and respect for the lives of those who created the Blues.
In times like these, who doesn?t need to hear the Blues?
Wax
