Blues: From the Crossroads to the World

A collaborative feature of the overall Reading BluesFest, Dave Kline, John King and Chuck Steinle, The Busker Incognito Trio will host a blues music mentoring workshop and jam on Saturday, November 19, 2022, from 4:30-6:00 PM, between the early and evening concert session at the Doubletree by Hilton Reading Hotel.

Best suited for beginner to intermediate musicians, or anyone simply interested in participating, the workshop and mentoring jam will cover the roots of blues music, and various styles of blues will be performed and taught. Please bring your acoustic guitars and harmonicas. There will also be ongoing and informal question and answer opportunities throughout the session.

There are no age restrictions for this concert and workshop but it is recommended for ages 12 up.

Through the presentation of roots blues up through contemporary blues, this program and workshop presents one of America's most influential musical evolutions and influencers. Powerful as blues roots are, they are often misunderstood by many and their impact on the world folk, pop and contemporary music scene is often grossly underestimated resulting in music fans, historians and musicians being underserved with opportunities to participate in grass roots programs and learning opportunities such as what is being created here. This program advocates for music education through the performance, its in-show discussions, and the workshop.
