Walk the Road brings to life the personalities, world and adventures of the great folk blues artists who invented so much of the music we hear and like today. The show:
takes you on a fun journey from the juke joints of the Mississippi Delta of the 1920s to the Newport Folk Festivals of the 1960s
is an uplifting evening of modern songs that sound like classics, showing how the music and spirit of the great troubadours live on
tells informative and amusing tales of the people and their lives, drawing parallels with the world today
This isn’t a covers show...it’s modern songwriting with deep roots. Original material inspired by legends like Lightnin’ Hopkins, Skip James, Sonny Boy Williamson and more.
With songs touching on juke joints, civil rights, prison, marriage, parties and more, this is the soul of American folk blues, told in a very British voice.
