Paul Asbell
8:00 PM
Apr 10, 2008
Glades Guitars is very excited to have Paul here for a special concert to kick off the first annual Newport in Miami Guitar Festival. Here's a little bit about him from his website www.paulasbell.com Paul began playing at age 12, on an acoustic guitar that his
dad had “broken in” singing pro-labor and “peoples’ songs”
while performing at union rallies and concerts in the late
‘40’s. An entirely self-taught player, Paul used as his early
models the music in his dad’s 78 and LP collection- records
by Lightnin’ Hopkins, John Lee Hooker, Blind Willie
Johnson, Leadbelly, Uncle Dave Macon, Woody Guthrie,
Jimmy Driftwood, and Flatt and Scruggs, as well as jazz
and gospel discs by Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughan, The
Staple Singers, and Mahalia Jackson. Soon after hearing the
music coming out of bars on Chicago’s South Side, however,
he single-mindedly started playing electric guitar, trying
to evoke the sounds of Buddy Guy and Otis Rush.
His career began at age 18 “in the trenches” of Pepper’s Lounge, the 1815 Club, Theresa’s, and other
haunts, as a sideman to Otis Rush, Magic Sam, JuniorWells and other fixtures of the Chicago blues
scene. Gigs, tours and recordings followed, with legends like John Lee Hooker, Earl Hooker,
Lightnin’ Hopkins, Sam Lay, Pops Staples, Donny Hathaway and Lightnin’ Slim. During this
time he appeared on the milestone recording “Fathers and Sons” featuring Muddy Waters, Paul
Butterfield and Mike Bloomfield and also played on “The London Howlin’Wolf Sessions” LP, featuring
Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood and members of the Rolling Stones.
In 1971, needing a “spiritual battery recharge” he made the move to rural Vermont. The idea was to
go as far from his “urban music roots” as possible- he bought a tiny piece of land in the shadow of
breathtaking Camel’s Hump Mountain, built a geodesic dome, and attempted to live “like normal
folks who didn’t live the music life 24 hours a day”. This lasted a couple of years, until he began discovering
other musicians who had moved to the area with similar stories. Before long, he was playing
4 nights/week with local R&B and jazz-based groups, doing session work for locally based but
nationally known Philo Records, and performing regionally with Mary McCaslin, Jim Ringer, Paul
Siebel, and other singer-songwriters.
The desire to play challenging original music led him to assemble a quartet of like-minded, worldclass
players. Originally named “The Paul Asbell Quartet”, the group soon changed its name to
“Kilimanjaro” and recorded two albums of Paul’s compositions for Philo, which won “Indie”
awards from NAIRD for “Most Innovative Album” of 1981 and “Best Jazz Album” for 1983.
Numerous festival dates, tours, and performances followed, including performances at several Kool
Jazz Festivals in Saratoga, NY, Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, and festivals and theatre
dates in Atlanta, San Antonio, San Francisco, Denver, etc. In 1984, Kilimanjaro joined forces w/ harmonica
legend Paul Butterfield, and toured for several years as a double-bill, opening the show with
their original music and then “morphing’ into a Chicago-style blues band as Butterfield hit the stage.
Appearances included the Montreal Jazz Festival, the Roskilde Festival in Copenhagen, and numerous
theatre venues in the US.

While at home, the 4 members of Kilimanjaro joined w/ blues-jazz legend “Big Joe” Burrell to form
the Unknown Blues Band, performing and touring in New England and Northeast. Several albums
were recorded, including “Blue Bottom” on Alcazar w/ George Gritzbach. Performances include the
St. Denis Theatre in Montreal, Kool Jazz Festival at SPAC, Sugarbush Folk Festival, Ben &
Jerry’s One World Festival, the Utrecht Blues Estafette in Holland, etc. This unit, essentially
unchanged in personnel since its inception in 1981, continues to perform, and is a regional favorite.
Since the early ‘80’s, Paul has performed regionally with numerous legends of jazz and blues, including
Sonny Stitt, Jon Hendricks and family, Bobby McFerrin, David Bromberg, Big Mama
Thornton, Betty Carter, James Carter, Kermit Ruffins, Michael Ray, the Sun Ra Arkestra, The
Wild Magnolias, Joshua Redman, John Stowell, and countless others.
Since 1994, Paul has been reconnecting with his original folk-based roots in enthusiastically received
festival shows and solo concerts. Recent appearances include Healdsburg and Newport Guitar
Festivals, MerleFest, and numerous acoustic venues across the country. His 2 solo acoustic CD's,
“Steel-String Americana” and “Roots and Branches”, received numerous rave reviews for its highly
individualized twists on blues and jazz standards, old-timey country-based themes and original
pieces from the “american roots” tradition. The Flynn Theatre called them “A genre-blurring, virtuosic
waltz through the deep heritage of American folklore, where styles of Robert Johnson, Doc
Watson and Dr. John rub elbows with those of Joe Pass and Bill Frisell.” Others have said “It is quite
the best CD of acoustic guitar that I have heard in years!”
When not touring, Asbell has composed, performed and recorded over 60 soundtracks for film and
video productions, including features for RKO, Columbia Films and Disney Productions, Vermont
Public TV, Vermont Public Radio, projects for Benetton, Nordica, Elan, and many others. The
Corporation for Public Broadcasting Gold Award was given in ‘93 to “Never Done”, for which he
played and arranged music.
Throughout his career, he has found time to maintain a professional teaching schedule. Paul has
taught for many years on a university level, including positions at Dartmouth College, Skidmore
College, St. Michaels College, Johnson State College, and presently at Middlebury College and the
University of Vermont.
In addition, he presently sees between 10-25 private students/ week, covering every conceivable age
group, stylistic orientation, and playing level. Past students have included recognized professionals in
jazz, rock, folk, etc, including Phish songwriter/guitarist/icon Trey Anastasio.

Steve Greenberg
8:00 PM
Mar 15, 2008
Steve Greenberg was born on 8/4/43 in Cleveland, Ohio. He left
Cleveland as soon as he was able to walk and to comprehend the
disadvantages of growing up in Cleveland, and moved to Miami,
Florida.
Steve attended the Cleveland Institute of music, studying music
theory. After moving to Florida, he began performing in his junior
high school choir and sang in choirs throughout high school. He was
subsequently featured in the University of Florida Men's Glee Club,
the Ohio State Symphonic Choir, and sang with the University of
Miami Chamber Singers. Steve is known as a lyric vocalist with a
powerful and versatile baritone voice.
Steve graduated twice from Ohio State University and practices
law in Pembroke Pines, Florida. In college he sang professionally in a
folk music trio with his brother and sister-in-law as a deleterious offshoot
of the folk scare of the 1960's. Now, he lives with his wife and
true love, Robby and their two dogs. He has appeared in South
Florida as a solo act, and with his Folk Trio, The New Last Rights
(formerly, “Last Rights”).
He has produced four CD’s, two with his group, and two solo.
He has performed throughout Florida, in Virginia and Maryland. His
rich interpretations of folk songs and ballads and his off-beat sense of
humor have gained him popularity wherever he has appeared.
Please call the store for your reservation as seating is limited. 954-983-2510

Jack Lawrence
8:00 PM
Mar 01, 2008
Jack Lawrence has been called a "flatpicking powerhouse." His recordings and performances combine exciting, high spirited and innovative guitar solos with tasteful phrasing in his own inventive style. Well known as Doc Watson's partner since the early 1980's, Jack's inspired playing and smooth vocals provide listeners with performances that span musical traditions. Jack grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina and his musical odyssey began at age ten when his father took a job as sound engineer for a local music hall. Backstage at the Lake Norman Music Hall, Jack had access to many of the top acts in the Country, Bluegrass and Gospel fields as well as the local R'n'B bands. As a youngster, Jack took this opportunity to meet and learn from some of the finest players in the business. Performers of the day such as Buck Owens, Don Rich, Bill Monroe, Leon Rhodes, George Shuffler, and Flatt and Scruggs exposed Jack to a variety of styles emerging in the 1950's and 60's. From these early experiences, Jack developed his own talents and found his major influences to be Doc Watson, Clarence White and Django Reinhardt. By the late 1960's, Lawrence was playing in local Folk and Bluegrass groups and soaking up as much music on the professional level as possible. An after school job with luthier C.E. Ward in Charlotte proved a tremendous learning ground for the sixteen-year-old. Through Ward's association with Bluegrass Gospel legend Carl Story, Jack started doing guest spots on Carl's TV show and making other public appearances. In 1971, three days after his high school graduation, Lawrence set out on his professional career. Jack will be hosting a very special clinic prior to his concert. The clinic will cover flatpicking techniques in great detail. Sign up early, beat the rush and assure yourself a seat in the LIMITED group. Clinic cost is 30 bucks...can you imagine sitting in there as Jack teaches his style and shares some stories of what its like to play with Doc Watson...? The clinic will run from 4:00 PM until about 6:00 PM with the concert starting at 8:00 PM...I can't wait!!!<br />

1:30
Feb 16, 2008
Robert Bowlin is an exceptional finger style guitarist who is in town on another gig and agreed to put on a clinic here at the store. His playing can be heard on numerous recordings. Here's a little blurb about him...Robert Bowlin started at age 1 and a half playing the ukulele, graduated to his dad's guitar at age 5, and has been creating unique and beautiful guitar music ever since. He won the National Finger picking Guitar Championship in Winfield, KS in 1979 and got 2nd in the Flatpicking Guitar Contest in 1978. His professional career has included stints with artists such as Maura O' Connell, Kathy Mattea, Tom T. Hall, the Osborne Brothers, Bill Monroe, Ray Price, Bobby Bare, Faron Young, Ricky Van Shelton. He was a session guitarist and fiddler in Nashville for countless recordings. He has played on stage with artists such as BB King and Ricky Scaggs, Tony Rice, Peter Rowan, and Vassar Clements. He has performed his original music on the stage of the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.
That is a pretty impressive resume if you ask me.

Michael Johnson
8:00 PM
Nov 17, 2007
What more can be added to this icon in the singer/songwriter world...? I am delighted to be co-presenting this show along with Bob Singer. His name is Michael Johnson. He has no plans to put on a cowboy hat, affect an accent, wear one glove or be anyone but himself. Moreover, he is "The" Michael Johnson, and he has performed and lived more music and recorded more hits than you would imagine.

His voice immediately identifies him as the man who sings "Bluer Than Blue", "Give Me Wings", "That's That", "This Night Won't Last Forever" and other landmark songs. His music shows a diversity, depth and heart that only come from years of dedication to a labor of love.

When asked what he would have you know about himself, Michael says: "Tell them that I love it." He started playing at age thirteen and just never quit. Singing, playing, writing and recording are the only things he's ever done and he loves it.

"Tell them I play guitar." He really plays guitar. He studied in Barcelona and he plays on all his records with a unique and distinctive style. His playing is an important part of his show.

"I am a soloist at heart." Michael often performs alone, and he has elevated the art. He prefers the intimacy and spontaneity of a show that can change with the moment.

"Tell them I'm a showman. I like to talk to people and I love to make them laugh. And, of course, I have to move them with the music. That's the whole thing. Without that, there is no reason to be on stage."

What one remembers of Michael is the texture of his voice, the meaning of the lyric and the music of the guitar - singer, song and sound. And the feeling of being at home with a friend.

There will be a 1 1/2 hour workshop at 5:30 PM for the lucky handful that sign up in advance. Michael will go over the art of singing and playing together as well as other helpful tips.

Please call 954-983-2510 and make your reservation NOW this show and workshop will sell out fast.
