Thursday May 30th
Willie Green@ The Historic Thomas Center of Gainesville

The Thomas Center Galleries announces the BLUES PIONEERS and their Progeny exhibition in the Mezzanine Gallery Thursday, May 30 through Saturday, Sept. 7, 2013. The opening reception is Thursday, May 30 from 6:30-9:30 p.m. in the historic Thomas Center and is accompanied by a performance from locally-based blues star Willie Green at 7:30 p.m. in the Spanish Court. The opening reception and performance are free and open to the public.

The BLUES PIONEERS and their Progeny exhibition will feature more than 40 colorful folk-art style illustrations of many of the 20^th century’s giants of the blues, as well as other legendary musicians whose style was influenced by these trailblazers. Each portrait will be accompanied by a brief description of the musicians’ lives and their significant accomplishments. In addition, viewers will be able to access a representative recording on their smartphones from each of the artists’ musical catalogues via grooveshark.com at grooveshark.com/bluespioneers. 

To mark the exhibition’s opening, the Shakerag Culture Center, Inc. is collaborating with Thomas Center Galleries to present singer, guitarist and harmonica player Willie Green in concert. Green is a beloved Delta-style bluesman, who now calls Ocala home. He worked as a migrant farm worker from 4^th grade to the age of 40 and, before gaining fame as a musician, made a living as a truck driver, pipe-layer and lawn maintenance man. He learned the blues in his early teens when he would hitchhike or hop a freight train to hear the old blues masters playing in juke joints in other towns. He is self-taught on both harmonica and guitar. Now a widely respected artist, Green has opened shows for John Hammond, Jr. (who calls Green "the real deal"), John Lee Hooker, Jr., James Cotton and many others including the legendary Eric Clapton.

The Thomas Center Galleries are located at 302 NE Sixth Ave., Gainesville, FL 32601.  352-393-8532 or go to www.gvlculturalaffairs.org.
