Paul Geremia
Wednesday, June 8, 2005
compelling country bluesman
Door 7:30pm, Music 8:00pm | Purchase advance tickets: $17.50

Over three decades of working at his craft, criss-crossing the United States and Europe practically nonstop, Paul Geremia has established himself as a first-rate bluesman, songwriter, a "scholar" of early jazz and blues, and one of the best country blues fingerpickers ever with his tools -- six and twelve-string guitars, harmonica, piano, and a husky, soulful voice.

With an innate sense of the humor as well as the drama of the music, here-energizes the timeless themes of Blind Lemon Jefferson, Robert Johnson, and Blind Willie McTell. His originals fit so seemlessly within tradition thateven blues aficionados are apt to wonder whether or not they are hearing a lost Delta masterpiece or one of Paul's.

Tonight's performance features songs from Paul's recent album, the evocatively titled Love, Murder & Mosquitos (Red House).
