Déjà vu Blues: An Encore Double Bill with Eric Bibb & Ronnie Baker Brooks.
Loeb Playhouse, Stewart Center 7:30pm
Sometimes you just can't get enough of the blues. Eric Bibb was
raised on American roots music,
rubbing elbows with performers like Odetta, Richie Havens, Pete Seeger, and Bob
Dylan, who influenced his rich, sensitive vocals and extraordinary
finger-picking. Ronnie Baker Brooks came of age watching fiery guitar players
and soulful singers like Buddy Guy and B.B. King. Carrying the torch, Brooks now
brings the blues to a new generation - energizing roots sounds with soul,
hip-hop, and funk.
