Blue Sage 2015/16 Concert Series, Featuring Pianist David Vest

Location: Blue Sage Center for the Arts, 226 Grand Ave. Paonia, CO

Date: September 12th, 2015, 7:30 PM

The Blue Sage Center for the Arts is pleased to announce the premiere concert in its 2015/16

Concert Series welcoming Maple Award winning pianist David Vest. All around bad boy of

boogie-woogie and the blues, David Vest returns to the Blue Sage for a night of honky-tonk,

great storytelling, and foot-stompin’ fun! Vest is a fabulous roots-rocker and boogie-woogie piano

player, who can just as effortlessly play beautiful jazz and country blues ballads. His live shows

are legendary, and his career probably pre-dates rock and roll itself.

Each concert in the Blue Sage 15/16 Concert Series is themed around a particular genre. Travel

with us through time as the Blue Sage Concert Series kicks off with the genre of Modernism

where music hits the streets and is available in every home. With Modernism, jazz composers

ask individual musicians to explore a theme through improvisation. Join us on September 12th and

revel in the musical freedom of the 20th century where there’s no such thing as a wrong note.

Vest will also conduct a blues improvisation master class for keyboardists that will be open to the

public on Saturday, September 12th at 1:30 PM. Tickets for the master class ($5) and application

participant registration forms ($20) are available at the Blue Sage Gallery located at 226 Grand

Avenue in Paonia or by calling (970) 527-7243.
