We are proud to announce our first musical members-only experience at the Frazier History Museum. At “Blues in the Bluegrass,” Frazier members will discover the history of Blues in the Bluegrass State, the lasting impact of the Blues on modern popular music, and Kentucky’s contributions to the genre. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn the basics of Blues structure and the musical characteristics that define its style and form as they try their hand at a group performance of a 12-bar blues number with the Frazier house band, The Ox Breeches. Special guest speaker Michael Jones will be joined by the Frazier’s Mick Sullivan and Kent Klarer to guide the audience through an engaging look at this distinctly American artform with global influence. As an engagement device, and a unique spin on this project, each audience member will be given a 10-hole diatonic harmonica, and musical examples will be performed on stage by the Frazier’s talented staff performers. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the content through active participation.
