The program, "The Blues Project: Songs of Love and Loneliness," is an exploration of the way blues music has permeated American music for over two hundred years. The sextet led by Eric Bascom, guitar and vocals, will present an evening of blues covering a wide variety of genres and time periods - from traditional to modern, including works by Nat Adderly, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker and Duke Ellington. Joining Eric will be Carl Hopkins, guitar; Genevieve Rose, double bass; Ed Brainerd, trumpet, flugel horn and piano; Ted Levine, saxophone; and Tito Holtkamp on drums.

This concert is presented by Bing Productions in collaboration with Trinity United Methodist Church and is sponsored by Florence Bank.
