Week two of the 36th annual Savannah Music Festival and we’ve got the Blues in the very best way. The breadth of musicianship represented in the Americana/American Roots music category truly celebrates the forms that sprung from the confluence of Appalachian and Smoky Mountain rivers with the rich loam of the Lower Mississippi River Basin. From there, the music traveled on the railroad lines along with the Great Migration to Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh, bringing the soul and the funk.
We are here for all of it. Here’s where you’ll find us this week:
On Thursday, April 3, we will hop from the 7 p.m. high-energy R&B of Victor Wooten & the Wooten Brothers at the North Garden of the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum, 41 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., to the 8:30 p.m. aching guitar storytelling of Marcus King at the Lucas Theatre for the Arts, 32 Abercorn St. On Friday, April 4, we will be back at the Lucas for the soulful Warren Haynes Band.
In between we will make a pilgrimage to District Live, 400 W. River Drive, to pay homage to Hazel Dickens, who would have turned 100 this year. With Hazel, there would be no Emmylou Harris, Wynona Judd, or Allison Krauss. The celebration of her life and music begins at 7 p.m., April 4.
For folks of a certain age, Paul Simon’s 1987 album Graceland proved spiritually transformative in large part to the powerful harmonies, joyful rhythms and humor of South Africa’s Ladysmith Black Mambazo. In these trying times, we need a dose of their exuberance and will in the audience at 4:30 p.m., April 5, at the Trustees Theater, 216 E. Broughton St.We will cap on the evening with saxophonist Branford Marsalis and his quartet at 8 p.m., at the Lucas.
If you need some more inspiration
Grab your most comfortable dancing shoes and twist-and-shout with Nathan & the Zydeco Cha Chas at either 5 p.m. or 7:30 p.m. on April 5 at the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum.
Then, check out singer-songwriter John Moreland at 8 p.m. on April 5, at District Live. Moreland went off the grid for a year and stopped using his smartphone for half that time just to rest and recharge. The artist who re-emerged has a lesson for us all about intention and connection in the music and lyrics of his most recent release, Visitor.
