Blues Fest: Paul Geremia
5th Annual Acoustic Blues Fest
Five years ago we hit upon the idea of dedicating a weekend to that most enduringly popular brand of folk music, acoustic blues. Down through the decades, the Caffè stage has been filled innumerable times with the mesmerizing, sweet and sad sounds of the Mississippi Delta.
We open our 5th Annual Acoustic Blues Fest with long-time Caffè Lena favorite Paul Geremia. Paul is your classic bluesman, reconteur, and road warrior. He has travelled the globe since 1966, during which time he has earned a rock solid reputation as a fingerpicker, songwriter, and scholar of early jazz and blues.
Playing six and twelve-string guitars, harmonica, piano, and singing in a husky, whiskey-and-heartbreak voice, Paul has an innate sense of the humor and drama of his songs. He mixes classics by Blind Lemon Jefferson, Robert Johnson, Blind Willie McTell, Scrapper Blackwell and Blind Blake with his original compositions to create a show that has received endless accolades in the U.S.A. and Europe.
