Event Description
Type of Event: Concert
Carnegie Hall presents Cephas & Wiggins on Saturday, June 27 at 7:30pm, as part of the Second Annual Rhythm, Blues & All That Jazz Weekend.
Cephas & Wiggins are leading exponents of the Piedmont Blues – specifically the Piedmont-style guitar, featuring alternating thumb and finger, with the thumb creating a steady, loping bass as the melody is simultaneously picked out on the treble strings. To Cephas & Wiggins, the blues lyric is the poetry of the African-American experience. They choose their repertoire carefully, not only for musical impact, but also to highlight the cultural and historical content of their genre. Their concert performance evokes life in the post-Reconstruction South. Hard work, celebration, joy, and struggle are all there.
