Vermont Vineyard Blues Tour with Bill Sims and Mark Lavoie
This world traveling duo, just back from a European Tour, will be visiting 4 VT Vineyards during the weekend of June 20-23.
Grammy-nominated Delta blues legend guitarist Bill Sims and Vermont harmonica master Mark LaVoie are down home, back porch, and hellhound all at once. Their old-school sound harkens back to a time before electricity turned the blues up loud, when feeling and soul were everything. Bill Sims returns to Vermont from tours around the world and a trip to the 2013 Grammys with his Heritage Blues Orchestra, and Mark LaVoie is our hometown harmonica hound from Bristol, VT. Elwood's House of Blues called their music "as rich as maple syrup" and it's true-- rich, sweet, mellow, and strong, the American Blues Roots Duo plays standards and originals from the golden age of blues. The duo will play four concerts: on Thursday, June 20 at 5:45 pm at Fresh Tracks Farm; on Friday, June 21, 6:00 pm at Lincoln Peak Vineyard; on Saturday, June 22 at 6:00 pm at Shelburne Vineyard; and on Sunday, June 23 at 2:00 pm at Snow Farm.
