For those of us that love acoustic Blues, we have a great show for you!
Roy Book Binder, a singing, songwriting, storytelling Bluesman troubadour, comes to Gainesville February 15 to play Heartwood Soundstage, Gainesville’s finest listening room.
Binder from the early sixties became a student and friend of the legendary Reverend Gary Davis, who he toured with in the late 1960s, and it was from these early days he became equally at home with Blues and ragtime. At the age of 84, he is known to shift from open tunings to slide arrangements set to his original and sometimes quirky tongue-in-cheek compositions, with both traditional and self-styled licks, drawing on many musical influences. He combines his Blues with Hokum, Dixie Jazz licks, and Old Timey acoustic Hill Country music with ease.
