An evening of intimate music with the legendary Jim Kweskin and Samoa Wilson, with Suzy Thompson and Matthew Berlin.

Jim Kweskin is the founder of the legendary 1960s Jim Kweskin Jug Band. During the five years they were together, they successfully transformed the sounds of pre-World War II rural music into a springboard for their good-humored performances. These days Jim is best known as a singer and bandleader, but he also created one of the bedrock guitar styles of the folk revival, adapting the ragtime-blues fingerpicking of artists like Mississippi John Hurt and Pink Anderson to the more complex chords of pop and jazz. He has maintained a remarkably consistent musical vision since his jug band days, continuing to explore traditional folk and blues with the sophisticated sensibility of a jazz musician, and jazz with the communal simplicity of a folk artist.

Jim Kweskin’s shows radiate charm, humor, sophistication and talent. Because of his vast repertoire and love of the music, Kweskin is recognized as one of the best interpreters of the great American songbook.

Samoa Wilson is a gifted American singer known for her work in jazz, blues, and folk music. She has gained acclaim for her powerful voice, emotive performances, and deep understanding of traditional American music.

Together, Jim Kweskin and Samoa Wilson represent a unique and powerful collaboration in the world of traditional American music, bringing timeless songs to new audiences with their combined talents and deep musical connection.
