Scott Ainslie and Ernie Hawkins bring Delta, Texas and East Coast Ragtime Blues to the stage in a spirited tour of hot ragtime instrumentals, passionate singing, slide guitar, stories and songs. Lifelong students of Ragtime-Piedmont Blues and Mississippi Delta Blues, Hawkins and Ainslie bring more than seven decades of experience with them to the stage. Their long apprenticeships with known and unknown traditional players from all around the country have lined their pockets with music, personal anecdotes, and history - riches that we hear jingle as they tap their feet.

You guys do not want to miss this show. I’m gonna flat out tell you if they’re comin’ anywhere near your town, get your butts off the couch and down to wherever they’re going to be because that–what we just heard–seeing that live alone will put chills on your neck.” –Bill Wax, Bluesville DJ, XM Radio
