Greetings blues lovers! Welcome to the 2011 Port Townsend Acoustic Blues festival. Whether you are a vocalist, guitarist, pianist, bassist, banjo, washboard, harmonica or accordion player, Centrum has something for you. Put down the cell phone, the laptop and the TV remote and pick up an instrument to play the music you love. This year we welcome Taj Mahal, Pura Fé, Otis Taylor, and Mali’s master griot, Cheick Hamala Diabaté, among many others. Each faculty member is hand-picked for their artistry and their dedication to teaching.

Make the most of the festival by checking out the pavilion shows and club jams, and get to know these outstanding musicians, and the music they make. Step outside the box and try something new! If you have always wanted to sing but were afraid to try, or if there is an instrument that you have always wanted to pick up, now is your chance. I am looking forward to seeing you all soon.

Thanks,Corey HarrisArtistic Director

Corey Harris, Artistic director, is an accomplished guitarist, songwriter and performer, whose musical artistry is complemented by serious explorations of the historical and cultural conditions that gave rise to the blues. He has demonstrated the boundless expressive power of the music by weaving traditional styles with elements from jazz, reggae, gospel, and African and

Caribbean folk music. Harris’ imaginative compositions spark renewed interest in the musical potential of the blues, sometimes forgoing the traditional 12-bar structure and mimetic repetition common to the style. In this way, Harris has forged an adventurous path marked by deliberate eclecticism. With one foot in tradition and the other in contemporary experimentation, he blends musical styles often considered separate and distinct to create something entirely new. In September, 2007 Harris was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship. He has been the Artistic Director of the Port Townsend Acoustic Blues Festival since 2009.

After his days in The Inkwell Rhythm Makers, Kit Stovepipe teamed with female vocalist and tenor banjo player, Caliope Kane to form The Crow Quill Night Owls, and much like

the Rhythm Makers, they’ve built their sound around Kit’s signature resophonic guitar playing and old-timey charisma. They perform all over the Pacific Northwest and beyond, sharing their love of the Memphis Jug Band, Dallas String Band, Andrew & Jim Baxter, Mississippi John Hurt, and others.

Bruce “Sunpie” Barnes is a veteran musician, park ranger, actor, former high school biology teacher, and former NFL player with the Kansas City Chiefs. His career has taken him far and wide, travelling to over 35 countries playing his own style of blues, zydeco and Afro-Louisiana music

incorporating Caribbean and African influenced rhythms and melodies. With his musical group “Sunpie and the Louisiana Sunspots,” he has played festivals and concerts across New Orleans and the US, as well as internationally.

Guy davis is a musician, composer, actor, director, and writer, but most importantly, Guy Davis is a bluesman. He has dedicated himself to reviving the traditions of acoustic blues and bringing them to as many listeners as possible through the material of the great blues

masters, African American stories, and his own original songs, stories and performance pieces. Raised in the New York City area, he grew up hearing accounts of life in the rural south from his parents and especially his grandparents, and they made their way into his own stories and songs. And it’s his storytelling set in an acoustic blues framework that sets him apart from his contemporaries.

Cheick Hamala diabaté is recognized around the world as a master of the ngoni, a Malian traditional instrument. His performances have been featured at such notable venues as The Smithsonian Institute, the John F. Kennedy

Center for the Performing Arts, and the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Fest. At an early age, he mastered the ngoni, a stringed lute and ancestor to the banjo. He later learned to play the guitar from his uncle, legendary Super Rail Band guitarist Djelimady Tounkara.

Based out of New York, the Ebony Hillbillies are Henrique Prince - fiddle, Norris Bennett - banjo, Newman Baker - washboard and percussion, William Salter – bass, and Gloria Gassaway – vocals. Whether they play for thousands of people at Carnegie Hall or a crowd at

Grand Central station, The Ebony Hillbillies bring history alive with the still vibrant sound of Americana. They’ve maintained their grassroots credibility while inspiring heartstring tugs and toe-taps in fans of all types of music, and with a musical repertoire that pays homage to the traditional, but with an eye on the future.

Pura Fé is a founding member of the internationally renowned native woman’s a capella trio, Ulali, and is recognized for creating a new genre, bringing Native contemporary music to the forefront of the mainstream music industry. Pura Fé,

whose Spanish name translates as “Pure Faith,” was raised by her mother and a gifted family of female singers that are decedents of the Tuscarora Nation that had migrated from North Carolina to New York in the early 1900’s.

Mark Graham grew up in Renton, Washington and has been playing blues and country music on the harmonica since 1970. With an encyclopedic knowledge of Southern country and blues styles, he has mastered the hallmark traditional harmonica solos and the call and response song accompaniment reminiscent of

Sonny Terry and Peg Leg Sam. Mark has performed at such venues as The Newport Folk Festival, The Prairie Home Companion, and Festival Hall in London, England and has taught at The Augusta Heritage Festival.

Erwin Helfer is a Chicago boogie woogie innovator and master, whose way of playing the piano reflects the impertinence of youth paired with the expertise and humorous wisdom of age, mellowed and ripened in blues joints, jazz clubs and concert halls in the States, Europe and Asia. While in New Orleans, Erwin studied

with Professor Longhair and Tuts Washington, worked with trumpeter Punch Miller, and recorded with Peg Leg Willie and Big Joe Williams. For many years, Erwin accompanied Mama Yancey, and was also mentored and influenced by Cripple Clarence Lofton, Speckled Red, and Sunnyland Slim.

Son Jack Jr. & Michael Wilde are an award winning traditional blues duo based out of Seattle, WA, with more than 30 years of touring and recording experience. They released their first

album in September 2010 to widespread and regular airplay, and have been in the top 10 on the Roots Music Report chart since December 2010, reaching #2 for Washington and the national Top 50. They appeared at Portland’s Waterfront Blues Festival in 2009 and again in 2010, and earned the right to compete at the International Blues Challenge semi-finals in Memphis, TN.

The Jelly Rollers combine compelling rhythms, guitar licks, and rousing harmonies to create their own brand of infectious blues. Best known for packing dance floors across the Northwest, the group originally formed in the late 1990s as a duo, singing

and playing in the tradition of Terry and McGhee, and Cephas and Wiggins. Their newest self-titled release is receiving substantial airplay in the Northwest, including regular rotation on Seattle’s KEXP.

Orville Johnson has a gift for finding the secret ingredient that makes a song sound letter-perfect, whether it’s an R&B tune from New Orleans, a country blues or a jazz ballad. Musical associates include Laura Love, Ranch Romance, and the File’ Gumbo Zydeco Band; and he’s shared the stage with artists such as Doc Watson, Bonnie Raitt and John

Lee Hooker. Orville’s guitar, dobro, and quavering, honeyed vocals have been featured on more than a hundred recordings, soundtracks and countless TV and radio commercials.

Washboard Chaz Leary is one of the world’s only professional washboard players. His reputation as a consummate musician and performer, along with his delightful stage presence, has brought him critical acclaim and wide popularity. Over the years Chaz has shared the stage with countless acts, including Bonnie Raitt, John Hammond, Muddy

Waters, Doc Watson and the Fabulous Thunderbirds. He has appeared on over 100 recordings, and has played festivals and clubs from coast to coast including Bottom Line in NYC, New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, Telluride Bluegrass and Jazz Festivals, American Music Hall in San Francisco and Denver’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

Taj Mahal is a singer, multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer, ethnomusicologist, Grammy-winner, world traveler, fisherman, and cigar aficionado. Taj has been playing his own distinctive brand of music -- variously described as Afro- Caribbean, Hawaiian, African, Latin, and Cuban sounds and rhythms mixing with folk, jazz, zydeco, gospel, rock, pop, soul, and R&B, all

layered on top of a solid country blues foundation. What ties it all together is his abiding interest in musical discovery - particularly in tracing many American musical forms back to their roots in Africa and Europe. His music reflects his global perspective, incorporating sounds from everywhere he’s lived and traveled. After more than a decade of playing with larger ensembles, Taj is now touring with The Taj Mahal Trio with Bill Rich on bass and Kester Smith on drums.

Arthur Migliazza was born in Hyattsville, Maryland, and began taking classical piano lessons at age nine. Inspired by his immense talent, blues piano luminaries such as Ann Rabson, Mr. B, and the great New Orleans keyboard master Henry Butler have all taken Arthur under their collective wing. In 2005, Arthur was

awarded the Tucson Area Music Award for Best Keyboardist, and in 2010 he was inducted into the Arizona Blues Hall of Fame.

John Miller has had a forty year career as a professional musician thus far, achieving acclaim as a solo and ensemble guitarist, composer and teacher in a variety of styles, including country blues, old-time, jazz and Brazilian. By the time he was 27, John had released five solo albums to international critical acclaim. For the past 15 years, John has continued to perform in a variety of styles, but has returned again and again to

the country blues that were his first love, releasing 10 instructional DVDs focusing on that music.

Los Angeles-based Jerron Paxton plays guitar, banjo, piano, harmonica, and washboard. While there are few young musicians learning country blues in the communities from which it arose, there is a definite increase in younger musicians learning and playing blues in much the same way that young people did forty years ago - by listening to recordings and

personally experimenting on their instrument. Jerron Paxton is a supreme example of this, a young man with a huge repertoire of pre-war blues and rags, and an uncanny ability to channel the spirit of pre-war guitar and piano blues music.

Mark Puryear has performed a variety of musical styles including blues, jazz, and Afro-pop. Over the years he has performed at Smithsonian Folklife Festivals, the Montpelier Cultural Arts Center, and the D.C. Blues Society Festival, in clubs, on college campuses and at private events. He has worked with blues artists such as Phil Wiggins, Gaye Adegbalola, Nat Reese, Daryl

Davis, Judy Luis Watson, Paul Watson, and Charley Sayles.

Nathaniel H. ‘‘Nat’’ Reese grew up on a rich musical mix of big-name jazz musicians, local black musicians, and performers on such radio broadcasts as the Grand Ole Opry. In 1939, Nat first met and performed with multi-instrumentalist Howard Armstrong, who was traveling through and playing the coal camp circuit from his home in

Tennessee. The duo was to perform together with increasing regularity over the next sixty-five years until Armstrong’s death in 2003. Reese plays and teaches at the annual Augusta Heritage Arts Workshops at Davis & Elkins College, and continues to perform regularly. Reese was inducted into the West Virginia Music Hall of Fame in 2009.

Guitarist and luthier George Rezendes has been playing country blues and American roots music since 1970. George is a member of the Toolshed Trio and the Blue Crows, and has performed with or opened for John Jackson, Corey Harris, Taj Mahal, Bill Frisell, and many others. Currently, George runs the Toolshed Soundlab facility, where he has recorded and

produced albums with Maria Muldaur, the Crow Quill Night Owls, and others.

Jeffrey Scott is a Piedmont Blues musician from Culpeper, Virginia, who has been a featured performer at many events and festivals, including the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, the Kennedy Center, and the D.C. Blues Society Festival. Accompanying his vocals with Piedmont-style guitar and old-time banjo playing, Scott draws on the musical sources and

community heritage of the Blue Ridge Mountains region, as well as many of the songs, stories, and sayings of the region.

Lauren Sheehan is a charismatic interpreter of songs learned from some of America’s greatest folk and blues artists. Lauren grew up in New England where she studied classical guitar as a child and became infected by the spirit of fiddle music at contra dances in western Massachusetts. Lauren’s passion for learning directly from other musicians has led her into the homes

and front porches of the musical legends who passed on much of the material and stylistic qualities she presents today.

Harmonica player Jay Summerour has been involved with music for over 40 years. Summerour began playing with Warner Williams, Piedmont blues master guitarist and vocalist, during the early 1990s, and they’ve been featured in concerts, on television and radio, and at festivals across the country, including appearances on the National Public Radio series Folk Masters, at the National and Lowell

folk festivals and on the National Mall during the American Roots Fourth of July celebration.

With Otis Taylor, it’s best to expect the unexpected. While his music - an amalgamation of roots styles in their rawest form - discusses heavyweight issues, his personal style is lighthearted. He learned to play guitar and harmonica, and by his mid-teens had formed his first groups. But it wasn’t until 2001, when Taylor started to play a unique and potent hybrid of Delta-inspired

country-blues and traditional folk and mountain music – a sound he calls, “trance blues,” that people really took notice. Taylor is a bluesman unafraid to expose social wounds, and has continued to explore his unique sound.

North Carolina musician Lightnin’ Wells breathes new life into the vintage tunes of the 1920s and depression-era America. Lightnin’ is a life-long student and devotee of the pioneering performers in the piedmont blues tradition which once thrived in the Carolinas, including such artists as Blind Boy Fuller, Rev. Gary Davis and Elizabeth Cotton.

Phil Wiggins was attracted to the blues harp as a young man and began his musical career with some of Washington’s leading blues artists, including Archie Edwards and John Jackson. While rooted in the melodic Piedmont or “Tidewater” blues of the Chesapeake region, his mastery of the instrument now transcends stylistic boundaries. He achieved worldwide acclaim as one half of the premier Piedmont blues duo Cephas & Wiggins.

Phil was the Artistic Director of the Port Townsend Acoustic Blues Festival from 2003-2008.

Sule Greg Wilson has performed with Babatunde Olatunji, the International African American Ballet, Boston’s Art of Black Dance and Music and studied with Charles “Cookie” Cooke of the Copasetics, Mama Lu Parks’ Lindy Hop Ensemble, Jelon Viera and Loremil Machado in New York

and Cobrinha Mansa in D.C., and with Raymond “ Pata Larga” McKeithan. Wilson has also worked with banjoist Tony Trischka, R. Carlos Nakai, Keith Secola and Brent Michael Davids. Wilson has recorded with Fink and Marxer, Cloud Dance, Pastiche, and has produced two CDs of his own music.
