📣📣The New River Blues Society and Christiansburg Institute, Inc. present: Rhythms of Resistance: An Afternoon with Blues Icon Gaye Adegbalola. 🎤🎸🎟*[TICKET INFORMATION AT THE BOTTOM OF POST]*
Gaye Adegbalola, Blues Music Award winner (formerly called the
W. C. Handy Award) and a founding member of Saffire - The Uppity Blues Women (1984-2009), plays guitar, harmonica and is a composer. She has recorded 10 CDs on Alligator Records and has toured widely throughout the U.S. and internationally.
Gaye has also released six CDs on her own Hot Toddy Music label: "Neo-Classic Blues" with Roddy Barnes, "Blues Gone Black" by Blue Mama Black Son (Gaye & her son, Juno), “Gaye Without Shame,” her Parents' Choice Gold Award winning Children’s Blues CD “Blues in All Flavors”, "Is It Still Good to Ya?" by Gaye & The Wild Rūtz, and “The Griot,' plus two EPS, “Freedom Song Trilogy, Volume 1" and " Freedom Song Trilogy, Volume 2.” Her most recent album is an anthology, “Satisfied!” (2023) and has selected songs from her post-Saffire career.
Through song and story Gaye shares her first-hand experiences and insights in the struggle for equality, from embracing the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, sitting-in and picketing, to the Black Power Movement and Malcom X, in order to find her own path on the journey to self-acceptance, empowerment and freedom.
