35th Carolina Blues Festival Happening May 15
(GREENSBORO, NC) – Piedmont Blues Preservation Society
<http://report.mnb.email/t.js?s=608b036134d1f7463a2fab0f&u=44241936&v=3&key=f092&skey=fe21c79792&url=https%3A%2F%2Fpiedmontblues.org%2F>
(PBPS) hosts NC Blues Week May 9th-15th, 2021 featuring in-person, live
performances and a film screening. The Carolina Soul theme carries through
in the artist lineup (PBPS) for the 35th Annual Carolina Blues Festival,
held Saturday, May 15th, 2021 at Lebauer Park in downtown Greensboro, North
Carolina. “Carolina Soul is a reminder of who we are as Carolinians and
that the soul of a people united are at the center of everything we do,”
said Atiba Berkley, PBPS President.
Johnny Rawls (Purvis, MS) is a soul blues legend — in fact, the term “soul
blues” was invented to describe his music. With a career spanning more than
50 years, he’s an internationally recognized, multi-award-winning recording
artist, music producer, and songwriter. Johnny is mentioned on two markers
along the Mississippi Blues Trail.
Roy Roberts (Greensboro, NC) career began at 14 years old when Solomon
Burke took him under his wing after letting him sit in as a bass player and
was soon handling the guitar chores behind Burke. Roberts subsequently
picked up touring gigs with Eddie Floyd, “Little” Stevie Wonder, Dee Clark,
and Otis Redding, while fronting his own band, The Roy Roberts Experience,
on the regional club scene.
The Phoebes (RTP, NC) perform a perfect mix of rock and blues and are one
of the newest bands in the Southeast, launched into the spotlight by
Kingfish reposting their cover of his 2019 Grammy nominated version of the
classic, “Hey Joe.”
Darryl Johnson (Marshville, NC) is a bass player, singer, songwriter,
composer, and producer. He started with The Original Drifters but is well
known for playing with The Neville Brothers, Bob Dylan, and Chairmen of the
Board, and has performed and recorded with many more. He’s returned to The
Drifters and taking a day off touring to celebrate his roots in Carolina
Soul.
Stax Museum Acquires Rare Soul Record Collection
(MEMPHIS, TN) - The Stax Museum of American Soul Music
<http://report.mnb.email/t.js?s=608b036134d1f7463a2fab0f&u=44241938&v=3&key=6170&skey=fe21c79792&url=https%3A%2F%2Fstaxmuseum.com%2F>
in Memphis has acquired a nationally important collection of rare soul
records from Chicago music historian and archivist Bob Abrahamian. The
collection includes more than 35,000 singles and albums alongside
memorabilia and photography, much of it focused on lesser-known Chicago
soul musicians.
“While his obsession with discovering and coveting impossibly rare records
was typical of many high-end collectors, his dedication to telling the
stories of the men and women behind these sweet soul records, and the
kindness he showed to these unjustly obscure cultural heroes, was something
special,” journalist Jake Austin said in a statement. “His record
collection is worth a great deal of money, but the work he did documenting
Chicago R&B and giving its practitioners the reverence and dignity they
deserved was priceless.”
According to the Director of Collections and Exhibitions Raka Nandi, the
museum is in the process of “studying why and how Bob Abrahamian amassed
such a vast collection and how he became such a public, outspoken advocate
of these artists. The museum will eventually display highlights of the
collection as part of the exhibit offerings, and will also make the archive
available to researchers and scholars.
Abrahamian started his collecting in the Nineties, which turned into a
lifelong project of documenting the less-known soul and R&B artists of
Sixties Chicago. Abrahamian died at the age of 35 in 2014.

Delbert McClinton Announces his retirement
Delbert McClinton
<http://report.mnb.email/t.js?s=608b036134d1f7463a2fab0f&u=44241942&v=3&key=54ad&skey=fe21c79792&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.delbert.com%2F>
has
had plenty of time to reflect on his 63-year music career during this
pandemic. For the first time in six decades, he has been off the road and
off stage for more than a year.
“Here I sit, 80 years old, in the middle of a pandemic. This is not how I
envisioned playing out my final years as an entertainer. Music has been my
total being for my whole life,” he admits. “I had been considering
finishing this year with a modest number of shows. But the more I thought
about it, and the more obstacles that have been placed in front of me, the
less my heart was in it.”
“I don't want to get up in front of audiences who might be the cause of my
incapacity or death just because I want to play music. I don't want to
listen to anyone who won't wear a mask or get a vaccine. We all have
different values and they are inarguable.”
He continues, “I have had a decent career, and I have accomplished more
than I ever dreamed I would. With that in mind, this is a good time to
retire.”
Delbert adds that this is a good time to close out his career, with a
Grammy win (2020 Best Traditional Blues), a great album (*Tall, Dark &
Handsome*: Hot Shot Records/Thirty Tigers), the Americana Lifetime
Achievement Award, and the best band and crew with whom he has ever had the
pleasure of sharing a stage (Self-Made Men + Dana).
“I’m leaving the stage with no regrets. I’ve done all that I set out to do
and more. Retirement will allow me to enjoy my family and travel a bit as
it becomes safer. It's been a great ride,” he adds, as he looks forward to
the next chapter.
Delbert will still perform on his Sandy Beaches Cruise 27

Independent Artists, Producers and Venues Streaming with HowLive.TV
HowLive, leading live event streaming platform, has announced “Producer,” a
new product that enables artists, producers and venues to stream using the
HowLive built in features to sell tickets, bundles, merch, accept
donations, sponsor placement and open up new revenue channels.
Artists and venues are now the center of the virtual music experience and
have full control with the HowLive platform. Deliver with confidence a
front row seat with amazing 1080 video, hi fidelity and scalability to

CD, Single & DVD Releases
Bill Toms & Hard Rain :: KEEP MOVIN’ ON
Pittsburgh’s Bill Toms and his band Hard Rain have, over the years, made it
their mission to pay homage to America’s rich musical traditions, mixing
some of the nation’s most beloved genres with a good dose of hope, faith
and inclusion.... but it’s safe to say that recently, this has been a
bigger challenge than usual.
A global pandemic resulting in forced isolation will make creative people
either wilt or thrive: In 2020, Toms and Hard Rain did the latter,
overcoming the chill of physical separation and creating their 10th studio
album, *Keep Movin’ On*, which will be released April 30 on Terraplane.
The new music, heralded as a “beautiful message of healing and hope” and a
“sublime step forward” for Toms by the *Philadelphia Inquirer*, was
produced by music legend, Rick Witkowski. It features contributions from
The Soulville Horns, as well as award-winning instrumentalist/producer,
Will Kimbrough, on a graceful blend of rock, soul, and rhythm & blues.
Like most collaborative efforts in 2020, the album is a product of
distance, which of course provided an unprecedented hurdle in terms of
capturing and honing Toms’ original songwriting vision, especially when
considering such pandemic-unfriendly musical elements as wind instruments.
Parts and tracks for each song came in far and wide, ranging from Nashville
all the way to Italy (where Toms’ European bass player lives). Ultimately,
the well-traveled history and ease the musicians have with each other
managed to circumvent the isolated circumstances, resulting in a seamlessly
warm groove throughout the set.

Things are looking up in 2021! We can’t wait to get back to the live music
scene, and we know you feel the same. *The Blues Festival Guide* team has
been putting together the 2021 issue to bring you the latest happenings on

*Here’s a sneak peek into the cool editorial we're working on as well!*
*Keeping the Blues Alive During a Pandemic* *By Irene Johnson*
As we are all too aware, the Covid-19 pandemic halted live events and
severely hindered the making of music. In this feature, the Blues Festival
Guide explores the innovative solutions musicians have come up with to
reach their fans, maintain their careers and keep the blues alive.
*What’s Cookin’* *with Larry Garner*
You may be familiar with Baton Rouge bluesman Larry Garner’s songwriting
and sound, but what about his cooking? Find out how he soothed his craving
for chargrilled oysters during the pandemic – without the grill. Garner’s
“Oven Oysters” will have you crankin’ some blues as you lay on the hot
sauce.
*The Lore of the Train* *By Michele Lundeen*
What's the blues connection? The lore and fascination with trains has been
with us for nearly 200 years. Trains and their winding tracks harken back
to another time, reminding us of life’s trials, survival, wanderlust, love,
humor or even urgency and have been inspiration for many blues songs.
Explore the connection!
*Blues Against Hunger Society*
The Blues Against Hunger Society is dedicated to ending hunger while
supporting, promoting and preserving the blues. Its food drive events –
which include tours, festivals, seasonal musicals and community Jamborees –
have fed thousands in the last decade throughout Baja California, So
California and AZ.
*Living Legend: Miss Lavelle White* *By Pam Cosel*
Miss Lavelle White is a living legend of the blues. The Texas-based
singer-songwriter’s career dates back to the 1950s, and she still
captivates audiences on stage at the age of 91. Learn more in this feature
how Miss Lavelle has impacted the blues over the last 70 years.
*The Blues Foundation Welcomes New Leadership*
Patricia Wilson Aden became the new President and CEO of The Blues
Foundation in October 2020. The Blues Festival Guide was able to catch up
with Patty about her first few months at The Blues Foundation, meeting the
challenges of the pandemic and what’s on the horizon looking forward.
*Ladies Sing & Play the Blues* *By Reverend Billy C. Wirtz*
The Reverend is back to share his blues wisdom – this time, about some of
the great ladies of the blues. Join him in worship of Sister Rosetta
Tharpe, Big Maybelle Smith, Willie Mae “Big Mama” Thornton, Memphis Minnie,
Camille Howard, Julia Lee, Ella Mae Morse, and the International
Sweethearts of Rhythm.
