with Guest Vicki Rummler
6:00 - 8:00 PM
Cost: $20
Ryan Lee Crosby & Band
Ryan Lee Crosby's new album "At the Blue Front" (featuring Grammy nominated bluesman Jimmy “Duck” Holmes) offers a haunting, hypnotic meld of Bentonia and Hill Country blues. Recorded on reel to reel tape over two afternoons at Holmes’ iconic Bentonia, Mississippi juke joint, the album was produced, recorded and mixed by Crosby, with a selection of original compositions, traditional repertoire and fully improvised songs.
Ryan Lee finds deep inspiration and spiritual refuge in Bentonia, where he has been mentored for six years by Holmes, the man who is widely regarded as the last living master of the style. Blending reverence for tradition with a modern, trance-inducing approach, Crosby's 12 string guitar is complemented by the melodic and harmonic accents of Jay Scheffler's harp and the subtly driving rhythms of Grant Smith on the West African calabash. For Crosby, all these threads weave together through the meditative power of the blues. This is a trip through time to the root of American music - raw, compelling and true.

Vicki Rummler (vocals, piano, guitar, original songs)
Expat singer-songwriter-musician Vicki Rummler brings a moving, funky, fun touch to the current music scene. She currently divides her time between Paris, France and Turin, Italy. Vicki’s style reflects these travels, blending jazz, folk, funk and French songs. Her smooth, joyful vocals reflect the influence of such masters as Bobby McFerrin, Joni Mitchell, Maria João, and, more recently, Feist and Billie Eilish. Vicki’s songs run the gamut from witty to wistful, and her accompaniment on piano and guitar is discreet and sensitive. Her first album, Twinkle, was released in 2004, her second, am I am, in 2011 and her third, Take Two, in 2017. Her latest project, Leaps and Bounds (2022), is a collection of “cabin songs” written during a wilderness artist residency in the Upper Peninsula, Michigan, USA.

Washington Post-praised guitarist David Rogers explores the musical landscape of 16th-century Spain through the lens of Valencian court musician Luis Milán. This program blends Arab and European influences with an organic, improvisational spirit that is both historically rich and deeply moving.
Also featured will be Sephardic and North African music that originates in the Andalusian traditions. The second part of the program will feature 20th and 21st century Spanish music which blends these traditions to make the Spanish and Flamenco music of today.
Poetry readings will punctuate the afternoon with readings from the early and modern Spanish traditions.
Termed, 'a prominent guitarist,' by the New York Times, David Rogers maintains an active solo and ensemble career as a classical guitarist and performer on early plucked strings. The Washington Post has praised his ‘astonishingly florid’ solo improvisational passage work. He has been called a 'modern master’ of the classical guitar' by 20th Century Guitar. Classics today.com has praised his ‘first rate instrumental artistry,’ and the Lute Society of America Quarterly has called his technique ‘formidable.’ He is an endorsing artist for Aquila Strings, (Italy) and his compositions has been featured in major guitar magazines such as Fingerstyle Guitar in the United States and Akustic Gitarre in Germany.
