This is great stuff! I also wonder who is caring and championing the older Eastcoast styles like those of Blind Blake and Gary Davis? Seems to me that the greatest risk of loss if that style.

Tampa Blue's music is based on the blues and spirituals he heard growing up outside of Birmingham, Alabama. He established himself as a blues artist in Florida during the 1980s where he was that state's first master artist of the blues for the NEA's apprenticeship program in 1991. He was also the Pioneer Florida Old-Time Music Champion for Finger-Pick Guitar in 1990. When asked what kind of music he plays Blue once replied, “Traditional, acoustic, Delta, slide, Piedmont, finger-style, Southern rural, pre-war, country, pre-electric with a touch of spirituals, hollers, rags and American finger-style guitar seasoning.”
Over the past 25 years, Blue has played from St Louis to Miami, Jackson to New York and sold his independently produced recordings from Hong Kong to Prague. Blue moved to North Carolina in the early 1990s and stopped performing but with the new millennium he is back out playing again.
If you like acoustic blues and finger-style guitar you will love the bite in Tampa Blue’s style!
