Music Maker Blues Revue
Featuring Dom Flemons, Beverly “Guitar” Watkins and Ironing Board Sam
Twenty years ago, the founders of Music Maker asked elder musicians what they needed. The answer: “A gig.” This gig spans generations, from Carolina Chocolate Drops co-founder and slide banjo player Flemons, to the hard stompin’ blues of elder guitar slinger Beverly Watkins, to the flying fingers and eccentric showmanship of pianist Ironing Board Sam.
