Paul Asbell in concert

From his early years, playing blues on Chicago’s South Side, to his present multi-faceted career based out of northern Vermont, Paul Asbell has earned an underground reputation as a true “musician’s musician”.  Since 1994, Paul has been reconnecting with his original folk-based roots in enthusiastically received festival shows and solo concerts.  His music has received numerous rave reviews for its highly individualized twists on blues and jazz standards, old-timey country-based themes and original pieces from the “American roots” tradition.  “A genre-blurring, virtuosic waltz through the deep heritage of American folklore, where styles of Robert Johnson, Doc Watson and Dr. John rub elbows with those of Joe Pass and Bill Frisell.”  A performance not to be missed.  A wine and cheese reception is included during intermission.  All proceeds benefit community outreach.  For more details, visit www.saint-patricks.org or contact concerts@saint-patricks.org or (704) 663-5659.
