Sun, November 2 - Hubby Jenkins
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. 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. With special guest Hank Imhof.
Concert & Workshop on Sunday, afternoon November 2 at Champions in Highspire.
