masters of American traditional music
Door 7:30 P.M., Music 8:00 P.M. | Purchase advance tickets: $17.50

Fiddle powerhouse Suzy Thompson and guitar goddess Del Rey bring us another memorable evening of red-hot music. Evoking the spirits of Memphis Minnie, Bessie Smith, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and other great blues women, Suzy and Del stir things up with their masterful playing, show-stopping vocals, and humorous repartee. Suzy's guitar and Del's resonator ukulele spice up the mix, and Eric Thompson provides some soulful guitar, mandolin, and cuatro accompaniment.

A vital member of the Bay Area acoustic music landscape, Suzy's exuberant fiddling and vocals have graced bands like the California Cajun Orchestra, the Klezmorim, Blue Flame Stringband, and the Bluegrass Intentions.

Del Rey's virtuosic resonator parlor guitar playing embraces a host of genres, including blues, stride piano, jazz, and hillbilly boogie. A first-rate blues musician and vocalist, Del delivers complex guitar grooves, witty, literate lyrics, sly humor, and some really fabulous outfits.
