In a
program of spoken words and live musical performance, diverse audiences of
all ages will journey with Scott Ainslie through a survey of the hidden
stories and the dynamic interplay of more than a century of American and
African musical traditions. In this varied program featuring the calabash
gourd banjo, diddley bow, and guitar, Scott Ainslie tours the music
of the American South where European and African musical traditions
cross-pollinated to make the powerful hybrids that have long dominated
popular music in our nation and, subsequently in the world. Picking up the
banjo and fiddle, Scott Ainslie brings his broad musical and scholarly
expertise forward in a program that profiles the broad impact of African
musical and cultural traditions found in Old-time mountain music, blues and
Gospel music in the South.
