Blues performance with C.A. Waller “I Got the Blues, and I Can’t Be Satisfied” @ Ralston’s Baright Public Library

Award-winning blues artist C.A. Waller, has been singing and playing the blues throughout the Midwest and South for more than 50 years. Through performance, storytelling, and a discussion of historical context Mr. Waller presents the musical styles, personal stories, and cultural background of the blues, and the people who sang and lived the blues. The story of the blues is the story of the establishment and development of the African-American society in our country, and the valuable contribution its practitioners have made to our collective culture. C.A. Waller is dedicated to the preservation of this unique oral tradition.
