Bring a blanket and get lost in the music select Tuesdays in July and August.
Boardwalk Blues, in partnership with Jazz Foundation of America, brings together blues and roots musicians from around the region to perform on Hudson River Park’s Pier 97.
About the Artists
Jeremiah Lockwood and Ricky Gordon have been making music together for over two decades, originally as disciples of Piedmont Blues legend Carolina Slim. Post-pandemic they created a new duo to share the sonic pleasures stored up over a tumultuous year of longing. Expect old-time blues, new-time rhythms, and ballads about all the things we want to do with you. Singer/guitarist Jeremiah Lockwood is the founder of The Sway Machinery, a world-exploring, genre-defying band perhaps best known for its collaborations with the late great Khaira Arby of Timbuktu. Drummer Ricky Gordon is a member of the Wynton Marsalis Ensemble and a prolific composer for the screen, including iconic collaborations with Spike Lee.
Boardwalk Blues is presented in partnership with Jazz Foundation of America. Don’t miss the Second Stage at Blues BBQ Festival on August 15 to see more brilliant blues programmed by JFA.
