Family ties are part of the fabric of American roots music. How often have we read (and for Pete’s sake how often have I written) that Artist X “came from a musical family”? The connection among siblings and the passing of ideas across generations might be the central reason this music sustains, and that in turn sustains us. Wednesday night offered up heart lifting performances by a first son of bluegrass and a first brother of Americana soul, plus a delightful country newcomer and a set by our own soul brother Jim Lauderdale.

Brooks Long

Phil Wiggins

April 15, 2015. In this concert, Sherman Holmes and Brooks Long are joined by the great blues harmonica player Phil Wiggins. Speaker Biography: Wendell and Sherman Holmes grew up playing the same mixture of music they draw from today: gospel, soul, R&amp;B, country, and blues. In the 1970s, Wendell met and performed with drummer Willie "Popsy" Dixon, who was also a native Virginian. The brothers and Popsy formed the Holmes Brothers band. The group performed to national, and later international, audiences and recorded with stars such as Van Morrison, Peter Gabriel, Odetta, Phoebe Snow, Willie Nelson, Freddie Roulette and Rosanne Cash. Speaker Biography: In late 2013, Wendell Holmes began working with young Baltimore rock'n'soul musician Brooks Long, and for the past year, Holmes has been formally mentoring Brooks with the assistance of a Maryland Traditions Apprenticeship Award. Speaker Biography: A native of Washington, D.C., Phil Wiggins spent most of his career playing as a duo with the late John Cephas. Besides being a renowned harmonica player, he is also a gifted songwriter and singer. As a harmonica-guitar duo, Cephas &amp; Wiggins were uniquely able to exemplify the synthesis of African and European elements which co-exist in the blues.
