Delta Promenade Acoustic Blues Band
Featuring:
Steven Dolmatz on Guitar and Vocals
Jan Peters on Harmonicas
Johanna Rocester on Bass
Delta Promenade immerses its listeners in the rich experience of the blues from the 1920s to the 1950's-- encompassing the acoustic blues of the Delta and the Piedmont, and ragtime and hokum music from New Orleans and early Chicago. Each Delta Promenade show not only lays down an infectious groove but includes a history lesson as well.
Guitarist and vocalist Steven Dolmatz is a lifelong student of the blues, wearing out Mississippi John Hurt and Blind Boy Fuller albums and imbibing the rich history of the blues at concerts with the masters and at workshops with the likes of John Cephas. He has performed on Bellingham and Northwest stages since the mid-1970's. He loves to share the history of the songs to any and all and plays with vigorous abandon.
Jan Peters has been playing and performing blues and various folk music since 1979 when he decided to make music his full-time occupation. He used to make his living in the Sacramento area playing in a full-time blues band that toured in Ukraine in 1991.
They often play as a duo as well as feature acoustic bass and/or old-time blues fiddle in this highly contagious joyous music.
