CONCERTS
IN THE COURTYARD SERIES: We
are kicking off the concerts in the Kimball Courtyard in May, and first on the
docket is on Thursday, May 25th, at 6pm featuring harmonica and guitar duo, Baza.
Baza celebrates the tradition of the
playing the blues of the 1920s through the 1940s. They perform the music of
early blues artists from the rich fertile region of the Mississippi Delta to
the low rolling hills of the East Coast Piedmont. They play with deep respect,
affection and authenticity, in a style that has been described as “gritty and
soulful”.
Baza is composed of Doug Philbrook
on guitar, vocals and foot percussion and Geof “Goody” Goodell on harmonica and
vocals. Doug’s conversion to the blues was cemented through the recordings of
Delta blues icon Robert Johnson. His playing on National Steel resonator
guitars employs a variety of blues tunings, picking and bottleneck styles. His
vocals are emotive and evocative of the classic blues howlers.
Geof’s blues journey began with the
music John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers and harmonica stylist,Paul Butterfield.
Geof’s playing is melodic, rhythmic and uplifting. His solo voice is passionate
and vocal harmonies “spot on.”
Together they play songs of hard
living, love, loss and celebration. They create a picture of the blues through
the songs and stories of its pioneers and the times they lived. Their stage
performances are informative, insightful, educational, musical and fun. Their
audiences leave satisfied and blues converts.
Bring your lawn chair or spread out
a blanket and enjoy a delightful evening of music as part of our Concerts in
the Courtyard – 2017 Summer Concert Series!

Library who are generously sponsoring this program.
