Ernie Hawkins in concert

Saturday, February 7, 2004 at 8 p.m.
2004 Art Museum Annex

Blues Guitar Workshop at 1:30 pm also in the Annex

Ernie Hawkins, Pittsburgh based acoustic guitar virtuoso, plays and sings blues, ragtime, and gospel. His musical style derives mostly from the early 1900’s east coast Piedmont and Texas steel-string flattop finger picking styles. In addition to his fluid, crisp guitar playing, Hawkins has a genial style with his audience and a natural vocal delivery. His wonderful performance and his extensive repertoire make this a fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable concert. This concert is presented in conjunction with the Winter Blues Blahs Festival.
