Lauren Sheehan in the Library of Congress and on NPR (From the Centrum website) http://www.centrum.org/blues

Lauren-Sheehan

"Thanks to the efforts of some amazing traditional music supporters in Seattle, Port Townsend Acoustic Blues Festival favorite Lauren Sheehan is in the Library of Congress.

Northwest News Network reporter Tom Banse recently interviewed Lauren about her work, and the work of Dyann and Rick Arthur - the couple that have been working hard to boost the representation of women in the traditional music scene through their "MusicBox Project."

Lauren's reaction to being in the Library Of Congress:

"It's unbelievable ... I am only a little drop in the bucket of oral tradition, but I am a drop in the bucket and wonderful players have passed music on to me who have now died. All this being in the Library of Congress is so cool because other people can hear that."

Listen to the story "

Thank you Portland FolkMusic Society and all my fans who were excited and voted for me to win this award Jan. 23. It means a lot to me to have your support and recognition.
Guy Davis with Lauren opening Thursday February 2 7:00pm $15 cover 21+ DUFF'S GARAGE 1635 SE 7th Ave PDX 503-234-2337

Guy Davis is a bluesman. Throughout his career, he has dedicated himself to reviving the traditions of acoustic blues and bringing them to as many ears as possible through the material of the great blues masters, African American stories, and his own original songs, stories and performance pieces. His sound and feel is rich and warm. He's funny, an entertainer and musician that you won't forget. Singers and pickers - don't miss him. (We had a great time playing together in Port Townsend last summer, maybe it'll happen again.)

Jugapalooza - A celebration of Jug band music Sunday, January 29, 2012 7 pm http://www.jugapalooza.com/

I am looking forward to some hokum with Johnnie Ward and Paul Basset with the Eagle Ridin' Papas. We've been playing together alomst 10 years, but those two have been playing old blues around Portland longer than - well, just consider them the elder statesmen of the jass scene here in Portlandia. They were weird before Portland was.

“Your CD is excellent — it accompanied me (over and over) on my swing up from Seattle to Anacortes when I was very tired and had done too much driving. It's a keeper.” —Peggy Seeger

New review from Mike Regenstreif , editor, writer and broadcaster now based in Ottawa who has written about folk and roots music since the 1970s for Sing Out! Magazine and the Montreal Gazette and many other Canadian newspapers.

Reviews: http://frfb.blogspot.com/

" it recalls great musical forebears like Mississippi John Hurt, Lead Belly, and Mance Lipscomb, who, though blues-based, drew inspiration and material from wherever they chose and were thus often referred to as songsters rather than blues musicians."
