NOW HERE’S SOMETHING! Doc MacLean is bringing his Dark Horse Blues to Hilton! (To book: WhatsApp 082 331 7271)

Along with his 1935 National guitar. Bare knuckles. Secret stories. Stuff you can hide inside a good song, or forget in the back of an aging theatre: or hum in the small hours as you wait for a train.

Telling songs and singing stories. This blues came from the Mississippi delta. But before that, it came from Africa. Passed down from mouth to mouth. More than music. A placement of the human spirit. Doc's early mentors were the grandchildren of slaves. And now: this continuing journey between the dreamscapes and the songlines: between the blurs of the Highway and the sounds of the wheels.

About Doc: Son of a civil rights lawyer and a fiddle player, MacLean was by his early teens playing harmonica and washboard in coffeehouses and festivals, and was appearing on radio and television variety shows. In 1972 he formed a duo with another young musician, Colin Linden, (Grammy nominated producer and recent Dylan guitarist) and became a frequent and popular opener for Sonny Terry & Brownie McGee, Muddy Waters, and John Hammond.
