More Than Music!

The more difficult and challenging music I am able to put in front of my students, the more they grow as musicians. I am extremely humbled by the generosity of the organization. Thank you very much for the time that was taken to deem the project worthy of being funded. The students are definitely looking forward to being able to produce music on the items gathered. Many of the students taking music lessons come from Latin American homes where many of them have seen or been exposed to guitars and heard their music, but never had the opportunity to experience them for themselves.

These instruments will also help to teach them discipline and the ethic of hard work and determination, through a fun outlet. The last act I saw before stumbling into my cabin to collapse was one of the most memorable in Matt Andersen, who delivered solo acoustic, folk-tinged blues. A big man with a big voice, the Canadian sings from a place of extreme depth and deep personal conviction. It was a mesmerizing solo performance from a truly original artist. Another unique discovery for me was that of Robert Jon and the Wreck a band which hails from Orange County, CA but sounds more like a group from Georgia or Florida. The group proudly wore their Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd influences on their sleeves and showcased a charismatic frontman (Jon) who’s hot licks played on a red Gibson SG.

Stay tuned for more updates from aboard the Norwegian Pearl as Keeping the Blues Alive Cruise At Sea VI sails into the weekend. Later, backstage at the evening’s big event where Buddy Guy was up on the Pool Deck, the members of Living Colour one by one congratulated and encouraged a beaming Kingfish before posing for pictures. In front of us on stage, Guy played an excellent show, without much of the stop and start songs that he often leans too heavily on At 83, Guy is still a force of nature, absolutely magnetic on stage.

His show in the Spinnaker Lounge had artists streaming up into a packed room, and he quickly showed that hype is well deserved, turning in a blistering 90-minute set that started in high gear and never really slowed down. He even called up 20-year-old Texas guitarist Ally Venable for a memorable sit-in. Late night on the same stage featured a performance from Joanna Connor, who’s been holding down multiple nights a week at the stalwart Chicago club Kingston Mines for years. Connor brought some of that flavor to the high seas, and her excellent band steamrolled along, with Connor playing jazzy comp and stinging leads. Burnside has a magnetic charisma and true blues feeling in everything he does.

Head to the steam room to soothe aching joints, freshen your complexion and reenergize your immune system. Take a dip in the hot tub and leave the world behind as the power of the warm water improves your circulation and loosen stiff muscles. This full service beauty salon and spa offers a wide range of spa treatments to rejuvenate you.

Baby boomers and Gen X cruisers will likely find themselves among generational cohorts as well as blues legends. Several younger musicians, such as Jared James Nichols and Ally Venable, will draw millennial cruisers, too. Upcoming Keeping the Blues Alive at Sea cruises include a four-night cruise from Miami to Ocho Rios, Jamaica, on Norwegian Pearl, departing on February 21, 2022 and a Greek Isle cruise on August 23, 2022 onboard Norwegian Jade. Both were rescheduled from 2020, and then 2021, because of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. Our mission is to conserve the art of music in schools by funding projects, scholarships, and grants that preserve music education for the next generation.

Winwood joins other newly-confirmed names on the excursion such as Tommy Emmanuel, Samantha Fish, Jackie Venson, and the Reverend Shawn Amos. This adventure benefits The Keeping the Blues Alive Foundation, Joe Bonamassa’s non-profit organization dedicated to providing students, teachers, and musicians with the resources and tools needed to further their music education. Keeping The Blues Alive Artist Spotlight is a video series of rich and compelling in-depth interviews from legendary and emerging artists. These episodes will promote talented artists’ stories while giving them a platform to share their musical journey with the KTBA community. Our goal is to connect these musicians to fans and to inspire new artists to pursue their musical paths.
