Blessissippi

Blues @ Home was honored to be part of the recent Blessissippi Crossroads Concert event in Clarksdale. The event was a fund-raiser for Delta State University's Delta Music Institute and was hosted by actor Morgan Freeman and Explore.org founder, Charles Annenberg Weingarten.
H.C. Porter and Lauchlin Fields, project manager for Blues @ Home, were excited to showcase some of the photographs and paintings from the project during the weekend at Son House Gallery right down from the Delta Blues Museum and Ground Zero Blues Club, where the concert was held Saturday night.

Daryl Hollingsworth found a way to hang a couple of the paintings from the ceiling of Ground Zero.
This painting of Super Chikan, one of the 29 Blues @ Home featured musicians, was on display as Super Chikan jammed on stage.


H.C. Porter had the opportunity to speak about the project on stage.

Blues @ Home is trucking along as H.C. continues to create the portrait paintings. We still have painting sponsorships available. Visit the Blues @ Home Web site to learn more about sponsoring a painting.
