Home for the Holidays: Celebrating the Blues | In Person (Ryan Ranch)

Course Description:

'Tis the season to be jolly? Sure, but it's also the season of the blues! Join us for this one-session special edition of our popular Evolution of the Blues series. Expertly guided by OLLI's resident blues historian, Brian Simmons, we'll revisit holiday-themed blues music by Charles Brown, B.B. King, Koko Taylor, Jimmy Witherspoon, Keb' Mo', and more. Step into the holidays with fellow music lovers and revel in good tidings and cheer accompanied by a blues beat (and no, we won't hear "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer").
