The Folk Project Troubadour Acoustic Concert Series presents Rory Block and Kevin Neidig

Legendary blues guitarist, singer, and songwriter Rory Block brings to the Troubadour stage her powerful and authentic interpretations of traditional country blues and her own originals. As a teenager she traveled the South to learn directly from blues giants like Skip James, Mississippi John Hurt, Reverend Gary Davis, and Son House, and she has become a blues institution in her own right. “Her playing is perfect, her singing otherworldly as she wrestles with ghosts, shadows and legends” (New York Times). “Some of the most singular and affecting country blues anyone, man or woman, black or white, old or young, has cut in recent years.” (Rolling Stone)
