Blues Guitarist, Red Springs, Nov. 9
Celebrated blues guitarist comes to Red Springs
The Red Springs Arts Council invites the public to enjoy the masterful slide guitar ability of Scott Ainslie performing at Flora MacDonald Academy Nov. 9 at 8 p.m.
Tickets are $5 and will be available at the door. The cost for children is $2.
Ainslie has played venues varying from the Kennedy Center and the renowned Empire Music Hall in Belfast, Northern Ireland, to community concert series and local school performances.
Ainslie’s festival performances range from state arenas such as the Bull Durham Blues Festival to the Toronto Blues and Jazz Festival.
Ainslie also will perform and speak to local youths at Red Springs High School earlier in the day.
“What’s nice about that (blues) is that it’s low-tech music,” Ainslie said to sound check. “You don’t have to be rich. You don’t have to be educated. If you want it, come and get it.”
As historian Ainslie has 30 years of scholarship. Combined with almost 40 years playing guitar his performances meld passion and education.
“Ainslie’s…Delta picking is so precise and passionate, his slide work is inventive and memorable, and his technique is rhythmically vibrant,” The River City Blues Society told Sing Out! “Perhaps even more impressive is Ainslie’s singing.”
The North Carolinian’s achievements are numerous. In 2000 Ainslie was a University of North Carolina Public Fellow. On a local note, he received the 20th Annual Sam Ragan Fine Arts Award from St. Andrew’s Presbyterian College and was Visiting Artist at Fayetteville Technical Community College from 1988-1990.
His performances in Red Springs are greatly anticipated. “Our small, intimate, historic auditorium in the old Flora MacDonald College will be the perfect space to experience this musical form,” Margie Labadie, Red Springs Arts Council president said.
The event is sponsored by the Red Springs Arts Council through a Grassroots Arts Grant from the North Carolina Arts Council, a state agency.
