I have been invited as one of two featured artists in "A Special Art Appreciation of the Blues," sponsored by Compass Bank and hosted by Tokoly Fine Furniture in downtown Navasota, home of historic blues pioneer Mance Lipscomb. The exhibit will be open this Saturday only, from 2:00-6:00 pm.
The Navasota Blues Festival was founded in honor of Mance Lipscomb, and it has grown to become an important music event showcasing top blues musicians from all over the country. I will be showing portraits of both Lipscomb and Albert Collins, an intense, unique blues guitarist who made a name for himself right here in Houston back in the 1950s.
Artist Leon Collins will show "Chronicles of the Blues," and other exhibiting artists will include Sharon Catchings, Russell Cushman, Patricia del Rio, Stephanie Detar, Lil' Jean, Ruth Kowis, Jeanette Powell, and Boots "Calillouette" Tyner.
