CORKY SIEGEL is known internationally as one of the world’s great blues harmonica players, and is a celebrated composer, blues pianist, singer, songwriter, band leader and author.
“Corky Siegel is a phenomenon.” - Washington Post.
“They Love Corky Siegel in Lincoln Center” - New York Times.
Along with the likes of John Cage, Steve Reich, Phillip Glass, and Meredith Monk, he is the recipient of a Meet the Composer/Reader’s Digest Commissioning Program for New American Music grant for chamber music composition resulting in his Chamber Blues ensemble’s popular Aunt Lila’s Suite; he has also been honored with the Illinois Arts Council Fellowship Award for Music Composition, the Chicago Music Awards’ Lifetime Achievement Award, and induction into the Chicago Blues Hall of Fame.
====
"JAMES LEE STANLEY," says Steve Brogden, "Last November, at the last minute... opened our ALBERT LEE concert so that Albert and his band could attend a recording session in Santa Monica with EMMYLOU HARRIS. James Lee wowed the audience and Albert Lee as well. In fact, James Lee was later asked to open for Albert at another gig. Well, James is coming back to the Four Friends Gallery along with Corky Siegel, his friend for nearly three decades! This will be a killer show!" Tom Robbins, author of "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues," says, “So where have they been hiding James Lee Stanley? We could say that James Lee Stanley is probably the last great undiscovered singer-songwriter in America. But true as that may be let’s say something else. Let’s say that a diamond has been smuggled into the wasteland… and here is where the wasteland ends.”

During the time of Prohibition, the Speakeasy was born and all levels of society began to party behind closed doors. This takes you back to the Roaring '20s and re-creates the feeling of days gone by. In an historic building in downtown Los Angeles, this event features beautiful '20s-style Deco decor, specialty cocktails, music, dancing and a few surprises. DRESS CODE: Feel free to dress in theme for this event as costumes are encouraged (but not required); since this event represents the 1920s, special guests are dressed in the styles of this era. However, a lovely dress for the lady and outstanding suit for the gentleman should also do the job. Tix (they're free, but limited) and info: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/roaring-20s-prohibition-speakeasy-red-carpet-gala-tickets-27334979660?aff=erellivmlt

Be sure to peruse the Guide's recent editions for a vast variety of acoustic and Americana music news that you just won't find elsewhere at any one source!
A RECENT EDITION looks at future events that are still way ahead. It's at:
http://acousticamericana.blogspot.com/2016/09/labor-day-weekends-music-events-2016.html
Of course, there's MORE. A guaranteed deep dive (or you can wade to the ankles, if you like) is in recent editions -- a VERY YUGELY FULL edition, indeed, is at:
http://acousticamericana.blogspot.com/2016/08/the-hot-licks-of-august-aug-6-2016.html
Yeppers, by golly, bunches 'n bunches on music news and some events that still have not happened yet!
For even MORE news that you might have missed about late summer & fall events -- during that excruciating partisan duopoly of lyin' speechifyin' along with the quadrennial compulsion with the Olympics, you can explore with our "search" function, up top (click "full web site" if your mobile device is oversimplifying things).
Or you can even use the "July" tab in the sidebar (you may need to open that feature), and you'll get access to editions published before August 1, and as far back as when Napoleon was a private.
The Guide brings you frequent editions covering MUSIC NEWS, festivals, events (from concerts to film festivals) and ticket alerts, and always available right here on the Guide's Blogspot site.
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
More soon, as always.

♪ The ACOUSTIC AMERICANA MUSIC GUIDE endeavors to bring you NEWS and views of interest to artists everywhere, more specifically to musicians and the creative community and music makers and fans of acoustic and Folk-Americana music, both traditional and innovative forms. From the deepest roots to today’s acoustic renaissance, that’s our beat. We provide a wealth of resources, including a HUGE catalog of acoustic-friendly venues, and schedules and inside info on FESTIVALS and select performances in Southern California in venues monumentally large and intimately small and cozy. We cover workshops and other events for artists and folks in the music industry, and all kinds o’ things in the world of acoustic and Americana and accessible classical music. From washtub bass to musical spoons to oboe to viola to banjo to squeezebox, from Djangostyle to new-fangled-old-time string band music, from sweet Cajun fiddle to bluegrass and pre-bluegrass Appalachian mountain music to all the roots of the blues and where the music is headed now.
