On Friday, December 15, 2017, the New York City based acoustic blues duo known as Piedmont Blūz will make a rare Tallahassee appearance at Blue Tavern. Piedmont Blūz consists of Valerie and Ben Turner, of whom thecountryblues.com said: “Just when people think the old country blues of the mid-Atlantic has faded away, along come the wonderful husband and wife duo who are the heirs to the Piedmont blues tradition. They play the truehearted, authentic country blues with love. It’ll warm your heart.”

The Piedmont Blūz duo is dedicated to the preservation of Country Blues and the Piedmont style – a special kind of fingerpicking that was prized by early blues musicians – and their mission is to help keep this rural, east coast tradition alive through musical entertainment. The duo has performed at festivals and venues all across the country, as well as internationally, and are much loved wherever they go. They feel that "there are stories to tell, people to remember, and things that must be said" so, in addition to tickling your ears with delightful music, they weave a bit of history into the presentation of each song.

Expect great music, interesting stories, as well as a bit of history as they share their musical traditions with you. An acoustic act like this doesn’t come around often – see them while you can! This performance is one night only.
