- **Event Name**: Freddie Vanderford - Live @ FR8yard
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 15 Mar, 2026 at 02:00 pm – Sun, 15 Mar, 2026 at 05:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Growing up in Buffalo, SC, Vanderford first learned to play the harp from his grandfather. Initially, Vanderford blended the country style of his grandfather with the sound of the Chicago blues. One day on the way to school, Vanderford turned on the radio to hear Arthur "Peg Leg Sam" Jackson play the Piedmont Blues. Once the teenage Vanderford discovered that the blues harpist and former medicine show performer lived nearby, he set out to meet him, eventually developed a close relationship and learned something of Peg Leg Sam's skills and his style. Today, Vanderford's playing represents one of the closest remaining links to the musical tradition of the early masters' of the Piedmont Blues.

In a pattern common to any folk tradition, Vanderford combines his traditional blues roots with his own variations and new material. He entertains audiences with his renditions of the blues, playing solo or with fellow musicians such as Brandon Turner, Steve McGaha, Carolina Slim and others. 

Vanderford's passion for the blues shines through in performances, at venues from clubs and juke joints to the historic Hagood Mill. His enthusiasm for the blues is also apparent in his willingness to pass on the tradition. Radio appearances, guest lectures, participation in workshops, and to serving as a mentor to aspiring musicians are just some of the ways Vanderford ensures that the tradition of the Piedmont Blues will continue to thrive.
