Friday, October 6 – Barns of Rose Hill presents Corey Harris. Barns of Rose Hill, 95 Chalmers Ct., Berryville, VA. Thanks to RE/MAX Roots Broker, Chip Schutte, for sponsoring this show! Corey Harris has earned substantial critical acclaim as one of the few contemporary bluesmen able to channel the raw, direct emotion of acoustic Delta blues without coming off as an authenticity-obsessed historian. Along with Keb’ Mo’ and Alvin “Youngblood” Hart, he raised the flag of acoustic guitar blues in the mid-1990s. Although well versed in the early history of blues guitar, he’s no well-mannered preservationist, mixing a considerable variety of influences – from New Orleans to the Caribbean to Africa – into his richly expressive music. Harris subsequently left Alligator for Rounder, and debuted for his new label in 2002 with ‘Downhome Sophisticate’, a typically eclectic outing that explored his African influences and added Latin music to his seemingly endless sonic palette. Two more albums followed on Rounder, the marvelous ‘Mississippi to Mali’ in 2003 and ‘Daily Bread’ in 2005. Doors open at 7:00 PM. Show starts at 8:00 PM. $15 in advance | $20 at the door | 12 and under accompanied by an adult free. For more information please call Barns of Rose Hill, 540-955-2004 or visit www.barnsofrosehill.org
