Music at the Market

aw ammers e a es ow • What: Music at the Market concert series • When:9 a.m .to noon Saturday • Where: Max Square, La Grande • Details: Jeanie Murphey will perform, along with Robin Burns and a pickup band

Bywill Bowman Go! correspondent

At the 2014 Wallowa Fiddle Camp, imagineJeanie Murphey looking down through her blackrimmed glasses, tapping herfoot, her short-cropped blonde hair bouncing to the beat ofher knee, and picking her Calem Eclipse banjo furiously. She's surrounded by students with eyes wide as the just-July sun.

Soon,a yelp.Another yelp.Some people start dancing and, within minutes, the camp is vibrant with twisting feet and dresses swinging across the grass.

Now imagine her stopping, setting down her banjo. Imagine her saying something like, "The past is always with us" to the students.

They nod. She smiles, picks up her banjo and begins playing again.

This is Clawhammer style, its music and heritage. And now the Port Townsend, Wash., artist is bringing it to La Grande, playing with Robin Burns and a pickup band at the La Grande Farmers' Market as part of the "Music at the Market" series Saturday. The music runs fi'om 9 a.m. to noon at Max Square.

Jeanie was born and raised in a small village outside Boston.

Initially, she preferred classical style. But after hearing Clawhammer, she's been playing it for more than 40 years.

Clawhammer, a style firmly rooted in the Appalachians, is fastpaced, vibrant,heavy on fiddle and strings, a perfect jig by which to swing. But there's a tenderness

Jeanie Murphey will perform for the Music at the Market concert series from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday at Max Square in La Grande. to the style as well, a sorrowful mourning for a past stricken with hard labor and oppression.

"This music isn't goopy," she said."It's about real life and real experiences."

Jeanie's band, Murphy and Marckx, plays songs in the style of Mike Seeger, Bruce Molsky and Bob Carlin, songs like "Farmer's Courtship" and "Cross the Alleghenies" and"I Ain't Got

Nobody."

But what's really interesting about Clawhammer, Jeanie says, is its Alrican origins.

Before Appalachia, Clawhammer originated in Alrica. During the slave trade, it traveled to Appalachia on the slave boats, where it was incorporated into the cultural music by both blacks and whites alike.

"My father had all these scholarly books on it," she said.'When Igotinterested,heletm euse them."

Jeanie tells a story ofher first experiencing Clawhammer being played by an African man.

"I was delighted," she said, when she first heard it played.

Soon, she incorporated both the style and culture into her own music.

And her job today, she says, is to share this Clawhammer culture, history and those real-life experiences with those she plays for and teaches her music, including the citizens of La Grande.

"Music is for the people," she said.'The music of the people reaches back a long way. It's a big and mysterious community."

Grammy nominee Blues Artist Eric Bibb comes to Enterprise's OKTheatreat7 p.m .Thursday.

Bibb is a native New Yorker with deep roots in the American blues and folk tradition.

He is the son of 1960s folk and musical theater singer and television personality Leon Bibb.

Eric's uncle was the jazz pianist and composer John Lewis of the Modern Jazz Quartet, and Paul Robeson was his godfather.

As a boy, he was surrounded by major musical figures of the times. By age 19, he was playing in Parisian restaurants, and has been based primarily in Europe ever since.

Bibb's vocals and lyrics provide a perfect balance to his fine finger-picking technique. Bibb has no problem blending various genres effortlessly, melding

a traditional rootsy American style with a subtle contemporary sensibility.

Coming at 7 p.m. July 17 is Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers along with Walllowa County favorite Tony Furtado. Bluhm is on tour this summer with her band, making a stop in Enterprise.

Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblersmade a needle's-eye leap onto the national music circuit in 2012, bringing with them a refreshingsound, spirited stage show and wellspring of good vibes, along with a turntable and milk crates stocked with their favorite vintage vinyl for backstage sustenance.
