Portsmouth’s Ryan Lee Crosby returns to the Four Corners Arts Center on Saturday, April 26th, for an afternoon guitar workshop and concert that spotlights the Bentonia and North Mississippi country blues traditions. Crosby’s offering in Tiverton comes on the heels of performances and workshops in Mississippi, at the Juke Joint Festival in Clarksdale and at the Blue Front Cafe in Bentonia.  Crosby has been a long time practitioner of these regional styles, which he has studied firsthand on stage and in recording sessions with Grammy nominated bluesmen Jimmy “Duck” Holmes and the late RL Boyce. Crosby’s upcoming 2025 album, At the Blue Front, was self-produced on a reel to reel tape machine with Holmes in Bentonia, in the field recording tradition of ethnomusicologists Alan Lomax and Dr. David Evans. For the concert, as well as the album, Crosby is joined by longtime collaborator Grant Smith on percussion.

Anyone who is interested in learning more about the music is encouraged to attend the all levels guitar workshop from 2-4pm and then the evening concert at 7pm, both at the Tiverton Meeting House. It is my hope that people who already love the music will learn something new and that those who are discovering it for the first time will find it as enthralling and beautiful as I have.
