Roots of the Blues: Music in the Museum with Sledge & Haney

Roots of Blues Explored at Bastrop's Music in the Museum Concert The roots of blues music lie deep in the African American experience in the American South, where elements of spirituals, work songs, field hollers, and European harmonies intertwined to create a unique and soulful sound. At noon on Saturday, September 21, Bastrop County's renown Blues/Americana duo, Sledge & Haney, performs a historical musical journey of Blues at the Music in the Museum concert series, 904 Main St in Bastrop, TX. The Sledge & Haney concert is free and open to the public of all ages. Barney Sledge, a Rosanky native, blends his soulful harmonica with Smithville native Jeff Haney’s percussive acoustic guitar. Together, their raw vocals complement the performance with danceable energy and authenticity. The monthly concert is held in the Special Exhibition room of the Bastrop Museum & Visitor Center every third Thursday of the month. Call the museum for more information at 512-303-0904.
