Get ready, because we have Rory Block coming to Eddie Owen’s Red Clay Music Foundry on April 17th.
She will be featuring music from her latest release
“Heavy On The Blues” which came out in August.
Rory Block is a legendary blues guitarist, singer, and songwriter, known for her powerful and authentic interpretations of traditional country blues and her own original compositions. Born in Princeton, NJ, she grew up in Manhattan and was immersed in the Greenwich Village folk music scene, where she was surrounded by musical giants like Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix and more. At 15, she embarked on a journey to learn directly from blues legends like Son House, Skip James and Mississippi John Hurt, becoming a prominent figure in the blues world.
Rory’s latest release, Heavy On The Blues, is on the New York-based M.C. Records label. The CD includes duets with Ronnie Earl, Jimmy Vivino, and Joanna Conner. Rory talks about the new recording:
“I am very excited to announce that I have recorded a brand new project for M.C. Records called Heavy On The Blues! I tapped into my lifelong love of American roots blues, celebrating the founders and best of the classic blues legends, and included some of my own originals. The recording Is filled with slide, overlapping acoustic parts, and funky rhythms. Can’t wait for you to hear it!”
