On
Friday, February 20th, 2004 at 9PM, the Inter-Media Art Center
(IMAC) in Huntington, Long Island will present a concert with
red hot blues mama MARCIA BALL.
MARCIA
BALL honed her powerful singing and deft, rollicking keyboard
chops while growing up in the small town of Vinton, Louisiana,
on the Texas border. This musical and cultural frontier has
produced such other roots-music greats as Gatemouth Brown,
George Jones, Janis Joplin, Clarence Garlow, Cleveland Crochet,
Clifton Chenier, Joe Bonsall and the Winter Brothers--Edgar
and Johnny. It was and still is a hotbed of country, blues,
gospel, Cajun, zydeco, rockabilly and Gulf Coast “swamp
pop”, and young Marcia absorbed it all, even as she
was receiving her formal piano training. To this day, Marcia
Ball’s music and influence still makes her an important
and popular figure in the progressive country/ blues movement.
Tickets
for this performance are $37.50 ($28.50 for IMAC Members).
