About this show

Jake Blount Band plays Old Town School of Folk Music, a 425-capacity theater in Lincoln Square, on Saturday, November 21. The show starts at 8 PM. Tickets are $8 to $36 plus fees.

A powerfully gifted musician and a scholar of Black American music, Jake Blount speaks ardently about the African roots of the banjo and the subtle, yet profound ways African Americans have shaped and defined the amorphous categories of roots music and Americana. His 2020 album Spider Tales (named one of the year's best albums by NPR and The New Yorker, earned a perfect 5-star review from The Guardian) highlighted the Black and Indigenous histories of popular American folk tunes, as well as revived songs unjustly forgotten in the whitewashing of the canon.
