Pat Donohue in Concert Sunday, May 26th, 7 p.m. The Surge Community Church 1988 Kirby Road McLean, VA 22101 Sponsored by the Songwriters’ Association of Washington Grammy-winning fingerstyle guitarist Pat Donohue will appear on Sunday, May 26th, at The Surge Community Church in McLean, Virginia. He will be in the area for two performances at the Wolf Trap Center for the Performing Arts. This is your chance to see him perform solo, in an intimate setting. Pat has earned national recognition for his mastery of acoustic fingerstyle guitar, which he exhibits weekly as the guitarist for the Guys All Star Shoe Band on Garrison Keillor’s radio program “A Prairie Home Companion.” Chet Atkins called him one of the greatest finger pickers in the world today. Leo Kottke called his playing “haunting.” Although he considers himself foremost a folk guitarist, Pat manages to blend jazz and blues with folk, and the mix is seamless. Over the years he has captivated audiences with his unique original compositions, dazzling instrumentals, and humorous song parodies, including Sushi-Yucky and Would You Like to Play the Guitar? Honors include a Grammy award for his participation in the Best Pop Instrumental of 2005, a collection of Henry Mancini guitar arrangements called Pink Guitar; several Minnesota Music Awards; and the prestigious title of 1983 National Finger Picking Guitar Champion. His original tunes have been recorded by Chet Atkins, Suzy Bogguss, and Kenny Rogers. Pat also has been a featured performer at major music festivals including the Newport, Telluride, Philadelphia, and Winfield Folk Festivals. Learn more about Pat at his official website: www.patdonohue.com. The Surge Community Church is at the intersection of Westmoreland Street and Kirby Road in McLean. Overflow parking at Longfellow Middle School on Westmoreland Street. Concert tickets are $20 each, cash only please. Reservations for the concert can be made by e-mail to [email protected]. .

Blind Lemon Jefferson from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
Blind Lemon Jefferson From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Background information Birth name Lemon Henry Jefferson Also known as Deacon L. J. Bates Born September 24, 1893[1] Coutchman, Texas, U.S. Origin Texas Died December 19, 1929 (aged 36) Chicago, Illinois, U.S. Genres Blues, gospel blues Occupation(s) Singer-songwriter, musician Instruments Guitar Years active 1900s–1929 Labels Paramount Records, Okeh Records Notable instruments Acoustic Guitar "Blind" Lemon Jefferson (born Lemon Henry Jefferson; September 24, 1893 – December 19, 1929) was an American blues and gospel blues singer and guitarist from Texas. He was one of the most popular blues singers of the 1920s, and has been called "Father of the Texas Blues". Jefferson's performances were distinctive as a result of his high-pitched voice and the originality on his guitar playing. Although his recordings sold well, he was not so influential on some younger blues singers of his generation, who could not imitate him as easily as they could other commercially successful artists. Later blues and rock and roll musicians, however, did attempt to imitate both his songs and his musical style. Biography Early life Jefferson was born blind, near Coutchman in Freestone County, near present-day Wortham, Texas. He was one of eight children born to sharecroppers Alex and Clarissa Jefferson. Disputes regarding his exact birth date derive from contradictory census records and draft registration records. By 1900, the family was farming southeast of Streetman, Texas, and Lemon Jefferson's birth date is indicated as September 1893 in the 1900 census. The 1910 census, taken in May before his birthday, further confirms his year of birth as 1893, and indicated the family was farming northwest of Wortham, near Lemon Jefferson's birthplace.

There was no planning to speak of—he liked to hold his cards close to his chest, as people do who are in over their heads. There were people eager to help him but he couldn’t say what he wanted because he himself wasn’t sure.

Guitar Week, July 30-August 5, 2017 7:30- 8:30 Breakfast
28 30-Ags5 Guitar Week is one of the finest programs of its kind in the world, staffed by some of the best players and instructors available. We have been awarded both the Bronze Medal and Silver Medal Player’s Choice Award for Music Camps by the readers of Acoustic Guitar magazine, and this high standard of quality is what keeps guitarists from across the globe coming back year after year. Many of our instructors are Grammy-winners and all are world-renowned in their individual styles of guitar playing and instruction. In addition to classes in acoustic guitar, we offer three classes in ukulele ranging from beginning to advanced. Our seventeen world-class instructors will be teaching acoustic guitar classes in jazz, swing, Celtic, bluegrass, ragtime, blues, Appalachian and of course, contemporary fingerstyle. We will offer beginning level classes to accommodate those students who aren’t quite ready for the intermediate-to-advanced levels, as well as a few classes suggested for more advanced players, so please read the descriptions carefully before you decide where you belong – we want everyone to get the most out of their week. For most of our classes it is recommended that students should play at an intermediate level: students should have mastered beginning skills, be able to tune their instruments, keep time, play scales cleanly, and know how to play a few tunes with confidence. For those who want some extra practice time at an easy pace, there will be a play-along session after lunch each day in the Pavilion, hosted by Al Petteway and Scott Ainslie.
