The Reel Blues Fest Live Tribute to
HONEYBOY EDWARDS

HE

Mississippi bluesman David "Honeyboy" Edwards is the only remaining disciple of the legendary Robert Johnson.
     The New York Times writes, "Mr. Edwards is among the last authentic performers in the blues... everything he does is infused with the rocking drive and hypnotic modal flavor of depression-era blues at its most intense."
      Despite his advanced age (ninety-five years!) he "can still attain an almost frightening intensity, delivering lyrics in a dark, throaty shout and ripping single-note phrases from his fretboard as if he were tearing them out of the Delta soil itself." (Chicago Reader).
      After traveling the circuit since the age of fourteen, Honeyboy finally got his due in 2002 when he was named a National Heritage Fellow, the United States' highest honor in the Folk and Traditional Arts, establishing him in our nation's history as "a monumental figure... and living link with the birth of the blues." He will be accompanied by long-time friend and partner Michael Frank on harmonica ad with special guests including the James Montgomery Band and the Uptown Horns.
