IVAN APPELROUTH (USA)
OCTOBER 6 ** Sunday Afternoon Show Tix $28 - Click to purchase Doors 1pm music starts 2pm You can hear Ivan here An afternoon of the blues and ragtime guitar stylings of MS John Hurt, Blind Blake, Rev. Gary Davis, Big Bill Broonzy, Robert Johnson, and the greats and obscure of the Eastern Piedmont, Mississippi Delta, and cotton fields of the Deep South. "...a player in complete control of the blues idiom." Vintage Guitar Magazine Having grown up exposed to southern airwaves and later spending significant time immersed in the blues rich environment of New England, Ivan Appelrouth has played guitar alongside and/or recorded with a span of many generations of the renown of the world of blues, from Earl King to Mick Fleetwood, experience leading up to the 2011 EllerSoul Records release of Blue And Instrumental, his debut recording under his own name that ironically garnered him a Blues Blast Magazine nomination for "Best New Artist." Not afraid of new artistic challenges or to pursue new musical and personal goals and passions, Ivan has since 2015, been bringing his long-time love of acoustic fingerstyle blues and ragtime guitar to the live stage promising a musical event featuring the music of the greats and lesser known of the genre and a performance of the early blues traditions of the Mississippi Delta, the Eastern Piedmont, and the cottonfields of the Deep South.

Great Aunt
Great Aunt is an Americana/Roots duo from Melbourne, Australia, rambling a musical line between the plaintive and the joyous. Their music is raw and austere, simple and bold; full of stomping feet and clapping hands, chants and harmonies, whispered words and soulful lament. Set somewhere between a Gospel Church in Louisiana and a dimly-lit speakeasy in Melbourne, listeners will hear tales of joy and grief, whiskey and wine, gratitude and purpose-seeking. “Great Aunt gives us folk-based Americana music tinged with shades of Bluegrass and Gospel and capture the true spirit of this genre with their soulful renditions.” - LA Music Critic Blog.
