BLUES FOR MAMIE SMITH @ Killmeyer's Bavarian Alehouse
Sunday, July 20, 2014
Time: 3pm - 9pm
Address: 254 Arthur Kill Road, Staten Island, NY
Phone: 718-984-1202
Major blues musicians and singers are coming together for this six-hour music event that pays loving tribute to blues legend Mamie Smith (1883-1946) and raises funds to erect a monument at her unmarked grave.
They've joined in the effort launched in early 2013 by blues writer Michael Cala to bring this forgotten, but all important blues pioneer, to center stage once again. Ms. Smith's 1920 hit "Crazy Blues" made American music history and led to the discovery of icons like Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey and Louis Armstrong.
The six-hour "Blues for Mamie" show, hosted by WFDU-FM deejay and singer Nikki Armstrong, features some of the biggest names in blues and jazz, including Michael Hill, Rob Paparozzi, Dave Fields, Robert Ross, Michael Packer, Queen Esther, Cat Cosmai, Blues Ball, Hot Monkey Love, Regina Bonelli, Jim Koeppel, Frank Mirra, Wayne Livingston and some surprise guests.
In addition, spoken-word artist Mo Beasley will perform a tribute to the incredible life of Mamie Smith, who left Cincinnati at the age of 10 to join a touring vaudeville troupe, ended up in Harlem where she was discovered by composer Perry Bradford, and with his mentoring and persistence, wound up selling records by the millions.
Under the musical direction of bassist/composer Pete Cummings
Admission is $20 at the door but only $14 online. Presale tickets to Mamie Smith fundraiser:
