In RICHMOND BLUES, guitarist/singer John Cephas and his harmonica-player partner Phil Wiggins personify the century-old blues sound of the Piedmonth, the Appalachian loothills running from Richmond to Atlanta. Drawing from rhythm and blues and more, RICHMOND BLUES is a musical roadmap of the Virginia Piedmont tradition. While Cephas calls it "part of my heritage, part of my soul," their sound is at the same time distinctly release in the ongoing Smithsonian Folkways African Legacy series, co-presented with the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture.
