Recurring Events

The Masters of Acoustic Blues Concert & Workshop Series

The Masters of Acoustic Blues Concert Series is co-sponsored by Oh Papa Music, Scott’s promotions company and record label. This series brings legendary, up-and-coming & obscure acoustic blues acts that Scott has met during his 20-plus year career as an acoustic blues performer to various venues around Floyd, VA. These acts also conduct instrumental workshops here at the Pickin’ Porch.

Although recognized internationally as a hotbed of old-time, bluegrass & gospel music, southwestern Virginia has also historically cultivated an often underrecognized blues community that strongly influenced the other traditional music that developed here.

Through the concert series & instrumental workshops, the MoABCS is dedicated to raising awareness of the importance of blues music in the development of other music indiginous to SW VA and assisting it to continue to thrive in this area. MoABCS has featured such acts as Paul Geremia, Catfish Keith, Paul Rishel and Annie Raines, Otis Taylor, Steve James & Del Rey, Mike Dowling, Dan Stevens, Bradley Litwin and John-Alex Mason.
