Well done, San Diego! Tickets went online Nov 15 but we’ve already done gone and sold out. See you at this epic show!

@southernpacificsessions is proud to present @foghornstringband and @clintonrossdavis live in San Diego at @verbatim.books January 8th. Doors at 7pm, show at 7:30. Tickets link via Clinton’s bio link or Verbatim’s website

The Foghorn Stringband is the present day gold standard for real-deal hard-hitting genuine old-time American string band music, with eight albums, thousands of shows, over 15 years of touring under their belts, and an entirely new generation of roots musicians following their lead. American roots music is a diverse and never-ending well of inspiration, and Foghorn Stringband continually and obsessively draws from old-time, bluegrass, classic country, and Cajun music traditions in an ongoing quest to present a broad span of American historical music with an unparalleled youthful energy, joy, and virtuosity.

Clinton Davis is an old time folk musician currently based in San Diego, California. A fifth-generation Kentuckian, Davis grew up in rural Carroll County. His repertoire spans fiddle and banjo music native to his family home, the exuberant ragtime piano and guitar of early 20th-century New Orleans, and ballad songs and dance music of the Southwest. Davis’ prowess across instruments and traditional American styles has gained notice from the standard-bearers of previous generations, and earned him a place amongst a new generation of American folk musicians. Stefan Grossman, renowned authority of American roots guitar, has called him “a master…carrying on the traditional music torch of Mike Seeger.” No Depression has called his work “a joyous and soulful restoration of one of the lost treasures of American musical tradition.” Deering Banjos has called his playing “simply sublime.” In 2022, in recognition of his work as a performer and educator, Davis was named a Kentucky Colonel, the highest civilian honor bestowed by the state of Kentucky.

All of my guitar instructional videos are on sale

All of my guitar instructional videos are on sale on @stefangrossmanguitarworkshop this month. Lessons focus on fingerpicking everything from classic Mississippi John Hurt tunes great for beginners, to my arrangements of Jelly Roll Morton piano tunes that will prove challenging to more seasoned pickers. I’m particularly excited about my new lesson on building your own guitar rag. In it I’ll show you three chord progressions that are used over and over in ragtime guitar tunes, and how to develop your own ideas on top of them. A link to all of my lessons can be found in my bio linktree. Enjoy!
