Spencer Bohren - Blues on the Ceiling - Rootsway 2013

ll Podere della Bertazza, un tempo dei Principi Meli Lupi di Soragna, a Diolo di Soragna si veste -- come da tradizione -- a festa per ospitare la 9° edizione del ROOTSWAY -- Roots 'n' Blues & Food Festival. Una festa nel pieno rispetto delle tradizioni popolari delle terre di Po che si è svolta nelle serate del 28 e 29 di giugno 2013. E la musica Blues, che nasce autentica dal cuore della terra, rivive qui insieme ai profumi e ai sapori di una cucina ormai famosa targata "Amici della Bertazza".

Spencer Bohren's music resonates with the ambience of the rivers, roads, and bayous of the American South. He has a marvelous gift for sharing his great love for America's wealth of traditional folk, blues, gospel and country music with audiences of all ages. His ability to animate the musicians and singers from the past with both respectful readings of their music and spellbinding stories is legendary. Spencer's laid-back stage presence and comfortable delivery make each concert feel like a pleasant visit with an old friend.

But that's not all...

Woven through the fabric of a Spencer Bohren performance are his stunning original pieces, teeming with echoes of the traditional music he loves, yet written from a modern viewpoint. From gently opinionated topical songs to energetic highway tunes to disarmingly beautiful ballads, Spencer presents a wide range of music, punctuated by superlative guitar playing and using an ever-changing assortment of vintage guitars, lapsteels and banjos. The atmosphere of his New Orleans home subtly informs each performance. What's more, the stories that preface the songs are often as well received as the songs themselves.

Spencer Bohren is also a big hit in the academic community. His documentary performance, Down the Dirt Road Blues, mesmerizes students all over the world, and his American Roots Guitar workshops are popular with musicians of all ages and backgrounds. Exhibitions and workshops featuring Spencer's visual artwork, provocative assemblages he calls Petits Mysteres, are available in conjunction with or separate from his musical offerings.

From festival stages in America to concert halls all over Europe, listeners continue to be charmed by the openness and honesty of Spencer's music and his gracious personality. In a world filled with synthesized pop music, Spencer Bohren defines artistic integrity.
