If you enjoy blues music, even remotely, or play guitar, even poorly, or just like music, you NEED to come see Rory Block at the Red Light Cafe, Otc. 28.
Heralded as “a living landmark” (Berkeley Express), “a national treasure” (Guitar Extra), and “one of the greatest living acoustic blues artists” (Blues Revue), Rory Block has committed her life and her career to preserving the Delta blues tradition and bringing it to life for 21st century audiences around the world. A traditionalist and an innovator at the same time, she wields a fiery and haunting guitar and vocal style that redefines the boundaries of acoustic blues and folk. The New York Times declared: “Her playing is perfect, her singing otherworldly as she wrestles with ghosts, shadows and legends.”
This is no hype. She is the real deal. IMO, she is not just, "one of the greatest living acoustic blues artists", but THE greatest, hands down.
If you've seen John Hammond live then you know how he performs with fire and emotion while beating his guitar to splinters, wait until you see Ms. Block live. Just as firey and emotional, plus her beautiful voice will melt your heart and soul in the process.
