NE/AR American Music Series
Scott Ainslie
Saturday, November 10th at 7:30pm
I want to thank everyone that came out to support the inaugural year of the NE/AR Americana Music Series.
Continuing with the new North East/Albemarle Region Americana Music Series the Chowan Arts Council is proud to present Blues Artists and educator Scott Ainslie.
Scott Ainslie heard Virginia Bluesman and grave digger, John Jackson (1924-2002) play a couple of songs in the middle of a Mike Seeger concert just outside of Washington, DC, at Groveton High School back in 1967.
Things haven’t been the same since.
Scott started playing guitar a month later and has now spent nearly forty years studying and playing traditional music, visiting and documenting senior musicians in America’s old-time banjo and fiddle music, Blues and gospel traditions.
With four CDs, a teaching DVD on the guitar techniques of Delta Blues legend Robert Johnson, and a book on Johnson’s music “Robert Johnson/At The Crossroads” (Hal Leonard, 1992) to his credit, as a performer and a teacher, Ainslie continues to present programs that are vital and entertaining. He currently makes his home in Brattleboro, Vermont.
Scott will be performing on Saturday November 10th at 7:30pm. Location is yet to be decided. Tickets will be $15 and are available at the Chowan Arts Council.
