Advertisement

Join us for an open air concert series in the new library atrium and plaza. Concerts will be held on July 22, August 5, and September 9 at 3:00 p.m. in the library's atrium.

Leonardo will perform his Country Blues Narrative with Songs sitting in a chair on a 3" stage using two National Reso-Phonic guitars. He tells the story of the blues by starting with transforming prison work songs into blues songs. From there, he continues chronologically using songs to illustrate how the blues developed. This is done totally acoustic, i.e. using no microphones or sound reinforcement; just like the songs were originally performed. The audience is encouraged to ask questions which helps steer the narrative.
