Jumpin Hot Club Book Launch + Catfish Keith – Gosforth Civic Theatre
Jumpin Hot Club will launch their new book with a talk from co founder’s Graham and Adam. They have also invited one of the Jumpin Hot Club’s longest serving bluesmen, Catfish Keith, to perform as their special guest.
World-touring acoustic blues pioneer Catfish Keith has established himself as one of the most exciting country blues performers of our time. Catfish’s innovative style of foot-stomping, deep delta blues and American roots music has spellbound audiences the world over.
He has reinvented the guitar with great power and artistry, and brings a rare beauty and vitality to his music. Handing down the tradition, Catfish continues his lifelong journey as one of the brightest lights in acoustic blues and roots music.
A 2008 inductee into the IA BLUES HALL OF FAME, the 40-plus year veteran has performed thousands of gigs, touring throughout North America, the UK, Europe and Asia to wide acclaim, headlining major music festivals, and appearing with legends John Lee Hooker, Ray Charles, Robert Cray, Koko Taylor, Taj Mahal, Leo Kottke, Jessie Mae Hemphill, Johnny Shines, John Fahey and many, many others.
