Paul Geremia
Country Blues
A visit from Paul Geremia is something akin to having an Irish Seanchai
(storyteller) rap on the doorway to your cottage. Sit back, relax, fill the bowl
of your curved pipe with tarry, and take a listen as your country’s rich
cultural heritage unfolds before you. In exchange for not much more than a spot
on the mattress and a warm meal, the legendary bluesman whom Newport Slim has
called a “living link” and “bearer of the torch” scouts out a musical odyssey,
and lays it out for all to see. Paul has been renowned as possibly the greatest living performer of the East Coast and Texas
fingerpicking and slide styles. Geremia's performances are a blend of acoustic guitar, vocals, harmonica and
sometimes piano.

Cover $10. Doors open at 7:00 PM show starts at 9:00 PM

OCHS
Meeting: Frozen in Time: The Rogers Group Statues -
7pm
by Kristen Costa,
Assistant Curator, Newport Restoration Foundation
The January meeting of the Old Colony Historical Society will
keep to the ongoing theme for the celebration of the 200th
anniversary of Lincoln's birth. January is the month when,
in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation
came into effect. As a result, thousands of slaves gained
freedom and the country was forever changed.
There was a well-known artist whose sculptures reflected his
times of change--John Rogers. In fact, the statuette that
made him famous in 1860 was "The Slave Auction"
showing a family being ripped apart. Free and open to the
public; refreshments to follow.
