Week 4: March 29, 2020, 6pm: Legends of the Blues featuring Grammy-Winner Bobby Rush
The Blues Unplugged....An intimate, acoustic, stripped down night of blues, blues, and more blues. Bobby Rush has been performing the blues for nearly seven decades, since the days of juke joints and the chitlin circuit, performing with Jimmy Reed, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, & Pinetop Perkins. Bobby Rush is as authentic a bluesman as anyone can be and this lucky audience will be treated to the real blues in its purest form: the man, his voice, and his guitar. Miss Faye will set the stage with her signature blues renditions after which the legend Bobby Rush will take the stage. Who knows, maybe these two warriors of the blues may even join forces...
Opening the show is Kito Kamili, one of the Bay Area's most prolific artists. Known widely as a pianist, singer, rapper, producer and educator, she has worked with artists such as David Murray, Amiri Baraka, Archie Shepp, Albert King, Pharaoh Sanders, and her mom Faye Carol.
