The Concord Conservatory of Music will present one of the world's great blues duos, award-winners Paul Rishell and Annie Raines for a concert and masterclass on Saturday, April 2 at 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm.
With 6 albums together, numerous Blues Foundation award nominations, and performing American Roots music as well as their own compositions all over the world, they are the perfect pair to lead a blues masterclass. Equally passionate about their craft and devoted to the study and performance of a wide range of blues styles, you'll learn from the best. Paul and Annie will discuss the unique elements of acoustic and electric blues styles, and highlight the deep connection between the two. Using examples from the blues repertoire, they will work with students to demonstrate how blues music uses interlocking parts and special instrumental techniques to create a rich musical experience.
Paul and Annie's impressive resume includes performing and recording with other great musicians, such as John Sebastian, Susan Tedeschi, Pinetop Perkins and Rory Block. They have opened for Ray Charles, Dr. John, and Little Feat, and performed on international radio and TV shows including Late Night with Conan O'Brien and A Prairie Home Companion, and PBS's Arthur.
Paul has reached what Boston Phoenix writer Ted Drozdowski called "a place deep and resonant as Robert Johnson's crossroads, where authenticity, soul, and a sense of purpose and commitment ring out in every note he sings and plays." Paul's original music has been used in plays, films, and countless television shows including Friends, Oprah, and A and E's Biography. He has built up a stellar reputation over 40 years as a performer, teacher, and torchbearer of the country blues tradition. Annie has added vocals, mandolin, piano, and other instruments to her musical arsenal, while being recognized by top professionals and fans worldwide as the "queen of the blues harmonica." She's enjoyed yearlong stints with the Tarbox Ramblers and the Susan Tedeschi Band, going on to perform on Susan's first three albums.
