SUMMARY:Jerron “Blind Boy” Paxton and Dennis Lichtman
DESCRIPTION:Jerron “Blind Boy” Paxton and Dennis Lichtman bring African-American folk and blues to Spencertown Academy. Paxton and Lichtman’s mutual love of the history\, stories\, and significance behind the music they play is apparent as they romp through an energetic and engaging set of acoustic blues\, ragtime\, Tin Pan Alley pop songs\, 1920s jazz\, twin fiddle hoe-downs\, and original songs and compositions. \n\n\n\nTickets: Academy members: $25\, General Admission: $30 \n\n\n\nJerron “Blind Boy” Paxton and Dennis Lichtman are both world-renowned multi-instrumentalists and vocalists whose musical friendship has grown organically in New York City for more than a decade. Their formal partnership began with a video shoot\, Just Cross the River From Queens\, at the Louis Armstrong House Museum in 2017. Paxton and Lichtman recently released their first full-length recording\, simply titled Jerron Paxton & Dennis Lichtman. \n\n\n\nJerron Paxton plays black folk music from nearly all the idioms that entails. From the Jazz of stride piano and banjo from New Orleans to New York to the deepest of the blues played on guitar and harmonica of which he has been a noted figure since his teenage years\, from the rural music that reaches the beginnings of black arrival in America played on fiddle\, banjo\, and bones to ragtime and other turn of the century music that gives the full breadth of black music before World War Two in a package that doesn’t lecture\, but invites you to enjoy that music as it was given to him. Mr. Paxton has been known to give his audiences a sense of being transported not to a time\, but a state of mind and understanding that allows audiences to enjoy black folk music and have it become a part of them as has been the American experience from the beginning. \n\n\n\nDennis Lichtman is a world-traveling bandleader who is best known for leading the famed trad-jazz jam sessions at Mona’s Bar in New York City since 2007\, and which was described in the Wall Street Journal as “ground zero for an emerging late-night scene of young traditional jazz and swing players.” He is a masterful multi-instrumentalist (clarinet\, mandolin\, violin\, and more) who has toured and recorded with The Lovestruck Balladeers\, Pokey LaFarge\, Ghost Train Orchestra\, Jim Kweskin\, and his own projects: The Brain Cloud\, Mona’s Hot Four\, and has a forthcoming original music album titled Secret Workshop.

SUMMARY:Junior Watson + Dean Shot @ The Linda
DESCRIPTION:Junior Watson + Dean Shot + Live Broadcast of Live at The Linda\nYou can be in the live studio audience for this outstanding show featuring blues legends\, Junior Watson and Dean Shot!\nWAMC’s LIVE AT THE LINDA\, hosted by Peter Hughes\, broadcasts live on WAMC – Northeast Public Radio from our performing arts studio – “The Linda” on the last Sunday of every month. \nWith nearly forty years of experience\, Junior Watson has reached cult status. Junior has done what all great artists have done: melting diverse styles to create a style all his own. With influences as diverse as Tiny Grimes\, Oscar Moore\, Bill Jennings\, Rene Hall\, Robert Jr. Lockwood\, Jimmy Rogers\, Eddie Taylor\, Guitar Slim\, Earl Hooker and others he has truly created one of the most unique and original guitar voices to come along in years. Besides his mastery of blues and swing he often adds his own cartoon-like twist to everything he plays. You’ll never know what he will do and when asked he doesn’t know himself. His energy and playing gives you a feeling of reckless abandonment. As he was once quoted “like a train off the tracks”. \nVocal and guitar stylist Dean Shot is and has been for many years one of the East Coast’s Premiere authentic blues artists. Born and raised in West Orange\, NJ. Dean’s mother played piano around the house\, and performed in summer stock plays as a youth. The influence of his mother singing and playing piano must have stuck with Dean as an infant\, he was always drawn to music. In his teens\, Dean took up guitar and began pursuing all the blues music he could find to listen to. \n$25 – $30  General Admission  < CRBN Members Save! Not a Member? Join Today! \nDOORS OPEN 7:30
