The Hoodoo Men
The acclaimed Hoodoo Men take the stage at the UTC Fine Arts Center on Friday at 7:30 p.m. Known for their raw, authentic sound and storytelling, the Hoodoo Men are set to deliver an evening that pays homage to the rich tradition of Delta Blues.
The performance marks the conclusion of a week-long artist residency at UTC by Bill Steber, a renowned musician, award-winning photojournalist, and documentarian. Mr. Steber, who is one half of the Hoodoo Men, will transport audiences through the history and soul of Delta Blues, blending music, art, and storytelling in a powerful multi-sensory experience.
"Bill Steber is one of the last living links to the greats and the history of the Delta Blues," says Robert Boyer, director of UTC Live! Performing Arts Series. "His music and work not only preserve the legacy of the Blues but also introduce it to new generations. This concert will be an experience like no other."
Review for The Hoodoo Men:
The Hoodoo Men, with their deep connection to the Mississippi Delta, offer a gritty and soulful style of Blues that sets them apart. Delta Blues is characterized by its emphasis on slide guitar, strong rhythms, and heartfelt vocals—often recounting personal hardship and the African American experience in the deep South.
