Winners of the Charlotte Blues Society’s 2016 Blues Challenge and Semi-finalists at the 37th annual International Blues Challenge 2017, Peggy and Aaron’s Bygone Blues project was born from a shared passion for Vintage Blues and in particular, Women in Blues History. They honor the female artists from the first 4 decades of the 1900’s and present original material influenced and inspired by that era. Their carefully selected cover playlist includes selections from Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, Merline Johnson, Lil Johnson, Maime Smith and others. For this show they become a quartet with two phenomenal instrumentalists, Justin Ray, from Michael Buble’s orchestra on trumpet the Zack Page who plays with everyone, on upright bass!

Pat explains “I wanted to create an ongoing setting to feature a rotating cast of new and upcoming musicians who have particularly caught my interest along the way.” Pat continues “From my earliest days in Kansas City onward, I was the beneficiary of so many older musicians giving me a platform to develop my thing through the prism of their experience and the particular demands of what their music implied. I have been feeling like I wanted to have a specific platform to focus on some of the many younger musicians I have enjoyed recently who I have felt some kind of a kinship with.” “I hear regularly from new players on the scene who have professed an influence from my records and tunes and I often invite them up to my house to play. Very often, it is really natural and organic to the music to play with them, they have literally grown up with it. I find myself inspired by how they deal with the musical challenges that come with the territory of some of those older tunes, and at the same time I find myself intrigued with the possibilities of what might be possible in writing new music just for them. This band setting is what that will be all about.” This edition of Side-Eye will feature James Francies (keyboards, piano) and drummer Joe Dyson.
