PAUL GEREMIA CD RELEASE EVENT |
Paul is a third generation Italian-American who, as he laughingly puts it, "was born in the Providence River Delta". Growing up in a family that moved across the country and back numerous times weaned his appetite for music, history and travel, which served him well later on. For almost forty years, Paul Geremia has survived solely by the fruit of his musical labours. Having abandoned all other means of support in 1966, he has been travelling far and wide ever since, performing in every capacity from street singing to club and concert bookings, throughout the U.S.A., Canada and Europe. In the years since, Geremia has built a reputation as a first rate bluesman, songwriter, a "scholar" of early jazz and blues, and one of the best country blues fingerpickers ever with his tools - six and twelve-string guitars, harmonica, piano and a husky soulful voice - and with an innate sense of the humour as well as the drama of the music, he keeps traditional blues fresh and alive with his performances. |

PANAMA RED | 1972. I became Billy Joe Shaver's guitar player, and we wrote a couple of songs together, one of which, Bottom Dollar, has at this time been recorded upwards of forty times. It has become a standard country song, but standards don't pay; hits pay, but not standards... I played in the Jewboys and I toured under my own flag until 1980, when Felix Pappalardi recorded a song of mine, somewhat watered down, called Negro, and then invited me to work for him in Miami back at Criteria. I accepted, because of the opportunity to learn how to produce records from The Man himself. Felix meant a lot to me, and I invested a lot of my career potential in working with him. I became a 'made man', and was poised to finally make the big time, which there was one of then, when Felix died at the hands of his wife, Gail. There is nothing more that should be said. |

THE FOLK CLUB OF SOUTH FLORIDA PRESENTS BARB RYMAN |
A natural storyteller with a deep compassion for the lost and forgotten voices of our culture, Barb Ryman expects music to be more than entertaining. With a crystalline voice and skillfully played guitar, Barb delivers a rich mosaic of contemporary folk, drawing from Celtic balladry, early rock, old-time gospel, and her own unique style. |
