Felonius Smith Trio

Historic delta blues, country blues, and folk blues - Felonius Smith Trio performs prewar blues music at its most authentic. With slide-resonator guitar, double bass, sousaphone, and harmonica, the trio takes us back to a time when original bluesmen were pioneering a new style of music. The group has been performing at festivals and nightspots along the Colorado’s Front Range for 17 years, sharing the stage with Koko Taylor, the Subdudes, and David Bromberg. Felonius Smith sings lead and plays the National slide guitar; Scott Johnson slaps the upright bass and toots the sousaphone, and Steve Sheldon wails on the harmonica. Take a musical trip back in time some 90 years - to a river bank in southern Mississippi for a generous serving of American blues tradition.
