Percy Strother's album Home at Last |
Talking Volumes is pleased to welcome local blues musician Percy Strother to share the stage with Christopher Paul Curtis.
Strother was raised on music and hard work in Vicksburg, Mississippi. His father taught him guitar and sparked a musical passion. Strother left Vicksburg when his father and mother died. He first went to Jackson, and then traveled through parts of north Carolina and Florida, through Chicago, eventually ending up in Minneapolis, where he became a leading figure of the active blues scene.
Strother has toured all across the United States and Europe. His song "A Good Woman is Hard to Find" was voted Best Blues Song of 1992 in the Living Blues Readers' Awards, and the album of the same name was a runner up for Best Blues Album of 1992 in the Living Blues Critic Poll.
