Blues For Youth Martin Luther King Day Workshop & Concert |
||||
|
The SBBS partnered with Cate School to sponsor an
afternoon workshop for local high school musicians that was led by Los Angeles-based
blues artists. Students and artists also shared dinner together. The day ended with an
evening concert during which both the professional artists and students played.
Zack Slovinsky (aka Cadillac Zack), a professional blues guitarist, joined with the SBBS-Cate partnership and assembled a band featuring Mississippi Bo and two additional LA blues musicians. After students received an introduction to the Blues from Zack, the artists and students then divided into instrument groups for two hours of one-on-one instruction. |

| After a private dinner, the group walked to Cate's theater where students and faculty awaited them. Cadillac Zack and his crew played deep-South electric blues songs. The concert ended with Zack bringing to the stage those student-musicians who had excelled during the afternoon workshop. The opportunity to perform with Zack in front of their friends and teachers was an exciting experience. | ||||
