Hosted by Corey Har- ris and featuring renowned roots musi- cian Guy Davis and Alvin Youngblood Hart, True Blues chronicles the extraordinary living culture of the blues in an evening of music and conversation. Harris is recognized as one of the most inno- vative roots musicians of his generation. With one foot firmly planted in the blues, Harris has celebrated into connec- tions to gospel, early jazz, reggae and West African music. Davis is part soulful troubadour, part show- man, and all blues. A singer, songwriter, gui- tarist and harmonica player who is always ready to put everything he has into his perfor- mances, he has story- telling in his blood. Hart has built a lega- cy that transcends musi- cal genres. Though his first explorations were into the world of roots blues, Hart has cultivat- ed a bold rock & roll side to his music. Blues is at the center of their artistry, and the blues takes center stage in True Blues, the concert. The event is sched- uled for Friday, Feb. 14. Tickets are $24-$34 and available at the Cas- cade Theatre Box Office at 1733 Market St. in Redding, by phone at (530) 243-8877 or directly through the Cascade Theatre web- site at www.cascadethe- atre.org. 4A Daily News – Thursday, February 6, 2014 Veteran's Hall • Red Bluff, CA Tickets: $35 per person Email Cheryl for more information cnatah@hotmail.com Like us on FaceBook!
