The History of the Blues
Walk down memory lane and slip into contagious music of the rhythm and blues. Only The Blues Berries deliver this great musical history lesson of popular music that began with slavery songs and now permeates the current musical scene.
The Blues Berries have performed before hundreds of young audiences in schools and community venues across North America for over seven years, and were twice nominated for West Coast Music Awards for their CDs “Little People Music” and “Funky Blue Diner.”
The History of the Blues guides the audience through a history of popular music from the beginnings of slavery to the current musical scene. While their song lyrics reflect subjects relevant to the lives of young people such as learning the alphabet and riding bicycles, The Blues Berries’ instrumentation reflects the period of the music whether it be call and response, a washtub band, or electric combo.
