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.
