Blues Biographies Bruce “Sunpie” Barnes (New Orleans, LA) is a true renaissance man, having taken his accordion to more than 35 countries, playing a signature style of blues, zydeco, Afro-Caribbean and AfroLouisiana music. With his group, the Louisiana Sunspots, Sunpie has played festivals and concerts as far away as Rovaniemi, Finland, Brazil, South Africa, Spain, France and Martinique. He’s also a veteran park ranger with the U.S. National Park Service currently working at New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park and is second chief of the North Side Skull and Bone Gang, one of the oldest existing carnival groups in New Orleans, and a member of the Black Men of Labor Social Aid and Pleasure Club.

Terry “Harmonica” Bean (Pontotoc, MS) A lifelong resident of Pontotoc, Miss., Terry first heard downhome blues in his childhood home. His father, Eddie Bean, a native of Bruce, Miss., sang and played blues guitar and, prior to Terry’s birth, traveled with an electric blues band. For many years, informal music and gambling gatherings were hosted at the family’s house on “Bean Hill” in west Pontotoc. Terry, one of 24 children, was enlisted to pick cotton in the surrounding fields. At the same time, the youngster took up guitar and harmonica, and eventually was featured at the family’s gatherings and before long, taken to play at other house parties, as well. After an injury curtailed his career in professional baseball, Terry returned to music. He played with veteran bluesmen, including “T-Model” Ford, and began performing on his own in the late 1980s as a one-man band, playing guitar and harmonica, and “foot stomping.” Terry frequently plays clubs and has performed at many blues festivals in the United States and Europe, most recently returning from a tour in Italy.

David Bromberg (Wilmington, DE) is a multiinstrumentalist, singer and songwriter with an eclectic style, playing bluegrass, blues, folk, jazz, country and western, and rock ‘n’ roll equally well. He is known for his quirky, humorous lyrics and his ability to play rhythm and lead guitar at the same time. Raised in Tarrytown, N.Y., Bromberg attended Columbia University in the 1960s and studied guitar with the Rev. Gary Davis during that period. He has played with many famous musicians, including Jerry Jeff Walker, Willie Nelson, Jorma Kaukonen, Jerry Garcia, Rusty Evans/The Deep and Bob Dylan. He cowrote the song “The Holdup” with former Beatle George Harrison, who played on Bromberg’s self-titled 1971 album. Bromberg

and his wife, artist Nancy Josephson, own a violin sales and repair shop in Wilmington that is said to have the largest known collection of American violins in the United States. In 2008, at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards, Bromberg’s album “Try Me One More Time” was nominated for Best Traditional Folk Album. Annieville Blues (Seattle, WA) has been playing piano since the tender age of 5. Born in Los Angeles, Calif., in 1960, Annieville began her training with traditional classical music but changed direction when she saw Little Richard on American Bandstand. Her attraction and inspiration to learn more about boogie woogie, jazz and blues piano styles were sparked by collecting old recordings of legendary pianists including Albert Ammons, Meade Lux Lewis, Jelly Roll Morton, Fats Waller, Otis Spann, and Fats Domino. Her first recording was in 1977 with Steve Miller of the Steve Miller Band. In 1982, she received her bachelor’s degree from Cornish School of Allied Arts in Seattle. During a 30-year music career, Annieville has shared the stage with renowned performers including Pinetop Perkins, Barrelhouse Chuck, Big Joe Duskin, Leon Blue, Henry Butler, Mr. B, Bob Seeley, Cash McCall and Cephas & Wiggins. Washboard Chaz Leary (New Orleans, LA) plays congas, hand percussion and drums, but in truth he is one of the world’s only professional washboard players. Though comfortable in all forms of our diverse American musical heritage, Washboard Chaz Leary has achieved dominance and international recognition in acoustic country blues. He has played professionally with an impressive array of world-class musicians, both on the stage and in the recording studio. His reputation as a consummate musician and performer, along with a delightful stage presence, has brought him countless excellent reviews and wide popularity. Chaz calls New Orleans home, where he plays with the Washboard Chaz Blues Trio, Tin Men, the New Orleans Nightcrawlers, the Iguanas, and a host of other musicians from the region.

Daryl Davis (Washington, DC) was born in Maryland, and earned his Bachelor of Music degree from Howard University, where he was a member of the Howard University Choir and Jazz Vocal Ensemble. In addition to being a vocalist, guitarist, composer, and keyboardist, Daryl is a professional actor and author. In 1985, 72-year-old Pinetop Perkins, one of the founding fathers of boogie woogie and considered to be one of the greatest blues and boogie pianists, selected 27-year-old Daryl Davis to succeed him in the piano and vocal slot of the Muddy Waters Legendary Blues Band. Johnnie Johnson, Chuck Berry’s original pianist, has praised Daryl’s ability to master with authenticity, a style that was popular 30 years before he was born. As a performer, Daryl Davis has worked with countless greats such as Elvis Presley’s Jordanaires, The Coasters, Muddy Waters Legendary Blues Band, and Bo Diddley. He has served as Chuck Berry’s musical director and is a long-standing regular player, in Chuck Berry’s current band. He was the featured pianist on Cephas & Wiggins’ 1992 Grammy Award-winning album, “Flip Flop and Fly.” Corey Harris (Charlottesville, VA), in his second year as the artistic director of The Port Townsend Acoustic Blues Festival, has been credited along with Keb’ Mo’ and Alvin Youngblood Hart for raising the musical flag of acoustic guitar blues revival beginning in the mid-1990s. Born in Denver, Colo., Harris graduated from Bates College in Lewiston, Maine in 1991, and in his early 20s received a Thomas J. Watson Fellowship for language studies in Cameroon before taking a teaching post with Teach for America in Napoleonville, Louisiana. On his debut album “Between Midnight and Day” released in 1995, he investigated the repertoire of Charlie Patton, Booker White, Fred McDowell, Muddy Waters and Sleepy John Estes; then in 2002, collaborated with Ali Farka Toure on his album, “Mississippi to Mali” fusing blues and Toure’s music from northern Mali. In 2003, Harris was featured in Martin Scorcese’s episode of the PBS series “The Blues,” the same year he contributed to the Northern Blues release, “Johnny’s Blues: A Tribute to Johnny Cash.” Harris has lived and traveled widely in West Africa, throughout Europe, Canada, Japan and Australia. In 2007, Harris was named a MacArthur Fellow.

The Ebony Hillbillies (New York, NY) include Henrique Prince (fiddle), Norris Bennett (banjo), David Gibson (washboard and percussion), and William Salter (bass). They provide a great introduction to a largely forgotten African American cultural legacy. Like many New York performers, the Hillbillies can be found doing their thing for tips in subway stations. Prince, the lead Billie, hails from a family of musicians from St. Thomas, growing up around all kinds of music, from instrumental dance to traditional Caribbean, Hawaiian and country styles. In his preteens, he taught himself to shuffle on the violin, his favorite instrument. His thoughts on the African roots of old-time music: “Africans, particularly West Africans, have had string bands for centuries—the ekonting, is the banjo’s ancestor. The ekonting players were said to have been captured and made to perform on the decks of slave ships to allow the (enslaved Africans) to get enough exercise to survive the Middle Passage. Left off in America, those players became the first black fiddlers and made the earliest gourd banjos. Somewhere in the mountains of Appalachia, knowledge of the banjo got transferred to other groups.”
Hook Herrera (San Jose, CA) brings a pancultural appreciation of the blues to Port Townsend. A gifted harmonica and guitar player, Hook’s family roots span Italy, Mexico and precolonized America. In an attempt to illustrate the Mexican-American influence on blues music, Hook will be appearing at the festival with Russell Rodríguez, an accomplished musician and dancer specializing in performance styles of huasteca, jarocho, mariachi, and other traditional music forms of Mexico. He has performed at various folk festivals throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico, instructed at Mariachi Festivals throughout the U.S. Southwest, and worked in San José and Los Angeles, Calif., Austin, Texas, Washington, D.C., Mexico City and Guadalajara, Mexico, and San Juan, Puerto Rico, as a professional musician performing in all types of venues. Herrera has also shared the stage with Junior Wells, Hollywood Fats, as well as the Allman Brothers and Gov’t Mule Gerry Hundt (Chesterton, IN) played Chicago Blues in taverns before he was allowed to drink in them. Born in Wisconsin and raised in Illinois he has since lived in Vermont, New York City, Colorado, and Chicago. In Denver, he worked, toured, and recorded with the likes of John-Alex Mason, Ronnie Shellist, and The Clam Daddys. For the last five years Hundt has toured the United States and Europe relentlessly as a member of Chicago’s Nick Moss & The Flip-Tops, filling the role of “utility man,” playing bass, guitar, harmonica, and,
of course, mandolin. On the strength of his critically acclaimed Blue Bella Records CD, “Since Way Back,” Gerry was nominated for Blues Music Awards in 2008, 2009, & 2010 for Best Instrumentalist. Hundt now resides in northwest Indiana, where SteadyGroove – the One Man, Chicago Blues Band – consistently draws fans new and old to deep Chicago Blues. Steve James (Austin, TX) Guitar goniff, mandolin maven and roots/ blues road veteran Steve James returns to the Port Townsend Acoustic Blues festival for the 15th time. Besides his many international tour dates and critically hailed recordings, Steve is known to fans of “the real” from his appearances on NPR Morning Edition, A Prairie Home Companion and many other syndicated broadcasts. Born in New York City to a musical family, James was bitten by the bluesbug early on, and after seeing Muddy Waters and Mississippi John Hurt, he decided to make music his life. In the early 1970s he migrated to Bristol, Tenn. (“bothering old people and playing with fiddlers,”) then on to Memphis (where he played with Lewis, Bukka White, and Lum Guffin,) and finally Texas in 1977. During this time, James became acquainted with the classic music and many of the great musicians of the American South. As a touring musician and recording artist, Steve is a font of historical knowledge, an engaging performer and a talented teacher. Continued on page 8▼

Biographies ▼Continued from page 6
Rev. Robert B. Jones (Detroit, MI) has more than 20 years of experience as a performer, musician, storyteller, radio producer/host and music educator. He has opened for and played with some of the finest musicians in the world, including BB King, Bonnie Raitt, Pinetop Perkins, Willie Dixon, John Hammond, Keb’ Mo’, Howard Armstrong, and many more. Still, Robert considers his greatest honor to be his call to the gospel of ministry. Born in Detroit, of a father from West Pointe, Miss. and a mother from Conecuh County, Ala., Robert grew up in a very Southern household. By age 17, Jones had already amassed a record collection of early blues and begun to teach himself guitar and harmonica. Among his accomplishments is the development of an educational program called Blues For Schools, which has taken him into classrooms all over the country. Ben Payton (Jackson, MS) has a voice that resonates with a passion for life and accompanying guitar skills that evoke the tradition of the original Delta blues greats such as Robert Johnson, Tommy Johnson, Charley Patton, and Son House. Born in Coila, Miss., in the hill country just east of the Delta, Payton’s early musical influences included his grandmother Mabel Johnson’s gospel piano playing and his Uncle Joe Birch’s blues guitar. When in his mid-teens, Payton and his family moved to Chicago, where he soon became active in the city’s blues scene. Payton worked regularly with Bobby Rush and Joe Evans and the Supersonics, who backed many prominent artists as the house band at clubs including Peyton Place, the Green Bunny, and High Chaparral. He also played in R&B bands, and has worked with artists Eddie Shaw and the Wolf Gang, Junior Wells, Fenton Robinson, Little Mack Simmons, Barkin’ Bill Smith, Taildragger, Bobby King, Big Moose Walker, and Muddy Waters Jr. This is his first trip to Port Townsend. Jerron Paxton (Los Angeles, CA) plays guitar, banjo, piano, harmonica, and washboard. While there are few young African American musicians learning country blues in the communities from which it arose, there is a definite increase in younger black musicians learning and playing blues in much the same way that young white people did forty years ago – by listening to recordings and personally experimenting on their instrument. Jerron Paxton is a supreme example of this – a young man from Watts with

a huge repertoire of pre-war blues and rags, and an uncanny ability to channel the spirit of pre-war guitar and piano blues music. Nathaniel Hawthorne “Nat” Reese (Princeton, WV) was born in 1924 in Salem, Va., to Thomas Walker Reese and Rosa Sylvester Caroline Wilson Reese, both of whom were originally from Alabama. The family moved to Itman, Wyoming County, W. Va. in 1928 where plenty of money was to be made in the coalfields, a visiting preacher advised. Thomas took a job at the Virginia Railroad shop. Both parents were musical, and Mr. Reese recalls learning “Life Is Like a Mountain Railroad” at his mother’s knee. When he began to show musical talent on his father’s guitar, his father made time payments to buy him a Martin Tiple, a 12-string instrument of Argentine origin popular at the time. Surrounded by gospel, swing, and blues music, it was 1939 when he first met and performed with multiinstrumentalist Howard Armstrong, who was traveling through and playing the coal camp circuit from his home in Tennessee. The duo was to perform together with increasing regularity over the next 65 years until Armstrong’s death in 2003. Del Rey (Seattle, WA) is a Port Townsend Acoustic Blues Festival favorite, who quite simply is one of the finest players of the guitar and ukulele active today. Her bass lines are sublime; the melodies she puts against them leave musicians asking the question, “How did she do that?” Del Rey started playing classical guitar when she was 4 and as a teenager, met bluesman Sam Chatmon who inspired her to become a blues queen. Her guitar playing combines country blues, stride piano, classic jazz and hillbilly boogie through the sensibility of an autodidact trailerpark esthete. Her live show is full of complex grooves and sly humor. Del Rey plays concerts worldwide and also presents a concert/lecture on women musicians called Women in American Music. She collaborates and tours frequently with Austin guitarist Steve James and she plays ukulele with Ukeshack. She is featured on Maria Muldaur’s “Sweet Lovin’ Old Soul.” George Rezendes (Port Townsend, WA) has been playing country blues, ragtime, folk and roots rock guitar since 1970. At age 14, a friend brought him recordings of John Hurt, Blind Blake, and Leadbelly, and Rezendes discovered the music that would be his foundation as a musician for the rest of his life. Interested in many
The Port Townsend & Jefferson County Leader • CENTRUM PROGRAM GUIDE 3
styles of music, he filters everything he plays through the rhythms and syncopations that he learned from these masters. The former owner of the local music store, Crossroads Music, Rezendes has been a long-time champion of the local music scene, most recently, laying down tracks at his “tool shed” recording studio when he’s not performing. Rezendes is known as a world-class finger-style guitarist and has a long career in the music industry having worked previously at Guild guitars. He is also a master guitar builder and luthier. Jeffrey Scott (Virginia) is a Piedmont blues musician and a farmer from Culpeper County, Va., and nephew of the late, legendary blues artist John Jackson. He has been a featured performer at many events and festivals, including the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, the Kennedy Center, Blue Ridge Folklife Festival and the D.C. Blues Society Festival. Accompanying his vocals with Piedmontstyle guitar and old-time banjo playing, Scott draws on the musical sources and community heritage of the Blue Ridge Mountains region, as well as many of the songs, stories, and sayings of his famous uncle. The music he plays ranges from blues to gospel to country dance tunes. Mr. Scott makes his first visit to the Port Townsend Acoustic Blues Festival this year. Suzy Thompson (Berkeley, CA) is one of the rare musicians today who has mastered the blues violin, following in the footsteps of Lonnie Chatmon, Clifford Hayes and Eddie Anthony. A powerful blues singer in the styles of Memphis Minnie and Bessie Smith, she is also unique in her ability to fiddle and sing at the same time. In 2003, after 30 years as a working musician, Suzy Thompson released her first solo CD, “No Mockingbird” which features blues songs and old-time fiddle rags backed on the album by Maria Muldaur, Fritz Richmond, Geoff Muldaur, and Mike Seeger. Her following CD, “Stop & Listen”, released by Arhoolie Records in 2005, is a live concert recording with Del Rey, longtime musical partner and renowned flatpicker Eric Thompson, and the Thompson String Ticklers. Thompson has been a leading force in many influential roots music groups, including the California Cajun, the Blue Flame String Band (with Kate Brislin and Alan Senauke), Klezmorim (who started the klezmer music revival in the 1970s), the all-woman Any Old Time String Band (featured on the Grammywinning Arhoolie box set), and most recently, the Bluegrass Intentions (with banjo ace Bill Evans). Suzy has just been appointed Artistic Director of Centrum’s Festival of American Fiddle Tunes.
Lightnin’ Wells (Fountain, NC) as a guitar, harmonica, ukulele, mandolin and banjo player, breathes new life into the vintage tunes of the 1920s. He learned to play harmonica as a young child and then taught himself to play the guitar while developing a strong interest in traditional music. By the early 1970s he was performing his own brand of acoustic blues. He produced the first commercial recordings of the North Carolina blues veterans Big Boy Henry, Algia Mae Hinton and George Higgs as he traveled and performed extensively with them, documenting their backgrounds and musical histories for future generations. A life-long student and devotee of the pioneering performers in the Piedmont blues tradition which once thrived in the Carolinas, Lightnin’ paid particular attention to such artists as Blind Boy Fuller, the Rev. Gary Davis and Elizabeth Cotton – deceased musicians whose influence seems only to grow with time. A veteran recording artist, in 2008 Lightnin’ released “Jump Little Children: Old Songs for Young Folks” designed with the younger listener in mind. These re-mastered home recordings offer a wide variety of American roots music including children’s favorites, blues, folk tunes, old-time music and vaudeville. Phil Wiggins (Takoma Park, MD), born in 1954, was attracted to the blues harp as a young man and began his musical career with some of Washington D.C.’s leading blues artists, including Archie Edwards and John Jackson. He attributes his style to his years spent accompanying slide guitarist and gospel singer Flora Molton, and an apprenticeship with Mother Scott (a contemporary of Bessie Smith). Phil’s harmonica sound developed from listening to piano and horn players, as well as to the music of Sonny Terry, Sonny Boy Williamson I, Little Walter, Big Walter Horton and Junior Wells. He met John Cephas in 1976 and a year later the duo Cephas & Wiggins was born. As a duo, Cephas & Wiggins were recognized as the leading exponents of traditional Piedmont blues. They recorded their first domestic album in 1987, “Dog Days of August,” and it quickly won a W.C. Handy Award (the Grammy of the blues community) for “Best Traditional Blues Album Of The Year.” They also took home the Handy Award for “Blues Entertainers of the Year.” Often called the Ambassadors of The Blues, Cephas & Wiggins played together for 34 years bringing Piedmont blues to audiences all over the world. Wiggins served as Centrum’s first Artistic Director for the Port Townsend Acoustic Blues Festival.

Imagine yourself ...
hotel opened in August 2009. When we first drove up and saw the old brick building, we were wary, but the inside of the hotel is a unique work of art, carefully restored with every attempt to reuse original building materials as well as the craftsmanship of contemporary local artisans. Each room is exquisitely appointed with subtle touches of handcrafted works. The mirrors are hand-etched, all the metal, from the shelving brackets to the handrails to the electrical cover plate at the end of the bar counter, are custom crafted by a local blacksmith. Clamshells from under the building have been incorporated into the concrete counter tops of the gourmet kitchens, old worm scarred reclaimed wood from the walls now adorn the cabinet door faces, and timbers from the cannery floor have been forged together to form large entry doors hung by iron hinges. The character of the hotel has been accented with extensive use of hammered copper, concrete floors and hand-blown glass fixtures. No longer wary, we were now charmed!
Imagine yourself on a ferryboat car deck with an espresso
The hub of activity is on Water Street and the downtown shopping district. The town is home to a large delegation of artists, writers and crafts people and has over 100 shops, galleries and restaurants.
in one hand, your overnight bag stowed in your trunk, and a dazzling skyline filling the horizon behind you. While the boat churns across the quiet ocean, the land disappears from view and a shoreline materializes in the distance. You’re bound for a getaway to Port Townsend on the Olympic Peninsula, a nationally recognized historic district with famous red brick and stone buildings. With the Olympic Mountains as backdrop and the doorway to Puget Sound opened wide, Port Townsend is beautifully situated on the northeastern corner of the Olympic Peninsula.
Port Townsend’s personality starts with the historic City Hall, which is on Water Street. City Hall is in a brick building that once housed the town’s fire station; part of the structure continues as the centre of local government, but the fire station has been converted to the three-story headquarters and museum of the Jefferson County Historic Society. It’s definitely worth exploring. Further south on the main drag are a wide variety of shops and restaurants.
Port Townsend is an architectural marvel that remained in a time freeze of sorts for nearly 100 years before being rediscovered and renovated. The town now boasts one of the largest collections of well-preserved Victorians in the United States, along with an equally impressive group of ornate office buildings in a Romanesque style. It is one of three seaports along the coastline of the US named to the National Register of Historic Places and stands today as evidence of another era.
Maybe after a great meal and a walk along the streets of the town, finish the evening with a show at the Rose Theatre. The culture of Port Townsend brings people from all over the world to enjoy the Blues and Jazz Festivals as well as the Wooden Boat Show in September. Port Townsend is proud of its waterfront connection and it shows in the number of seaside parks, docks and walkways next to the water. Spend some time discovering the island’s beauty in pristine woods, state parks and waterfront.
We stayed in an all-suite waterfront hotel, The Clam Cannery, located in an old brick cannery built in 1885 that sits out over the ocean, with views of the Cascade and Olympic Mountains, Whidbey Island and the Strait of Juan de Fuca from every suite. It is at the heart of the downtown area on Quincy Street, within walking distance of everything—dozens of art galleries, coffee shops, clothing boutiques, restaurants, theatres and pubs.
Seeing everything this unique place has to offer requires walking the streets and exploring with no time commitments. It will take several days to experience the atmosphere of local sidewalk cafes, art galleries, restaurants, pubs and shops where art and history come together. It would take too many pages of this magazine to tell you all the hidden charm and entertainment found in this small town. I loved it and will go back again to see more of what I know I missed.
After four decades of abandonment, several million dollars and seven years of loving restorative work by the Kevin Harris family, this new
