There is a movement across the nation
to keep the blues music & history alive and music in
the hearts and hands of our youth. There is a man that is
taking on that mission to preserve and share his knowledge,
experience and talents with young aspiring musicians. Jackie
Payne -- one of the world's finest blues, soul, and R&B
entertainers -- is that man. He is a singer and prolific
songwriter who's music is filled with emotional intensity
as he has gleaned years of experience playing all around
the globe with some of the greatest legends in Blues. Jackie
has been in the music industry since the age of 13, has
been nominated for numerous awards for Best Soul/Blues Vocalist.
He has worked with all the great names in the blues, soul
and jazz genre and wants to share his wisdom and passion
for music with today's young musicians. This is a wonderful
opportunity to be in one of San Francisco's most famous
blues clubs and be on stage with other young artist. Jackie's
goal is to give the kids some one-on-one time, a chance
to see him perform, ask questions and then allow the kids
to get up and jam some blues.
At Jackie's side is
one of the formost smooth jazz guitar players in the Bay
Area; Lloyd Gregory. But pigeonholing him as a smooth jazz
guitarist does not do him justice as his versitility is
as vast as the deep blue emoting from his instrument. He's
a musician in all respects. Understated when need be, yet
distinct and bold enough to capture audiences. He will assist
Jackie -- along with his fantastic band -- in emparting
specific musical techniques, and blues history at the workshop.
Children with Instruments
can attend the workshop for free. Bring your instrument
and a parent. Amp & PA will be provided.
The day will start
at 12:30 with a special buffet lunch available for purchase.
The kids can take this time to get to know one another.
Jackie Payne and Lloyd Gregory will play a set at 2pm. They
will also have a question and answer period and then he'll
work with the kids from 3pm and then let the kids jam on
the Biscuits & Blues stage! The workshop will conclude
at 4pm.
If you know a young person between the age of 11 and 20
who would love to sit in with Jackie Payne at his Youth
Movement Workshop at the Internationally renowned Blues
Club in San Francisco, Biscuits & Blues, then please
come by June 21st and join in the fun! If your child would
like to expand his or her abilities, knowledge and love
of music, learn about the history of blues, see Jackie Payne
and Lloyd Gregory perform, have some fun asking questions,
interact with Jackie Payne and Lloyd Gregory, network with
other young musicians, and get a chance to jam at the conclusion
of the day -- then please join us!
