About this event

Roy Book Binder has been rambling around the world for over 50 years. In the late 60s, he traveled with the legendary Rev. Gary Davis. In the 70s he recorded his first solo acoustic blues album. In the 80s he joined Bonnie Raitt’s East Coast Tour, and in the 90s he frequently appeared with Jorma Kaukonen, who recorded two of his songs.

Book Binder has the goods: the original, the bare-knuckle, the low-down blues. He has the stories, the licks, and the mystery of timeless music in his fingers. His eclectic repertoire includes blues, country tunes, bluegrass and folk. He’s been featured on PBS, NPR’s “Fresh Air,” and is a regular at Fur Peace Ranch, where he teaches alongside Kaukonen. When Book Binder brings his “Tour Bus”’ to town, a one-man bluesfest ensues. He plays and he entertains, feeding us music and stories, and the evening is a celebration for us all.
