Guitarist

A program on Mississippi’s music roots will be presented by multi-Grammy-nominated, international performer, composer, producer, recording artist, and actor, Vasti Jackson. He will take the audience on a journey from the foundation of American music to the musical genres that grew from it. Including blues, gospel, country, and soul, to rock & roll, jazz, funk, and hip hop, this music is loved the world over. From Robert Johnson (the father of the blues) to Jimmie Rodgers (the father of country music) Mississippi encompasses the musical bookends of global popular music as well as everything in between.
