Blue artist performs at 6 on the Square

OXFORD – 6 On The Square (6OTS) proudly welcomes back Delta Blues artist, Garry Cogdell on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Garry Cogdell is Blues, and he’ll be heating up this Oxford venue when he plays – Mississippi, Chicago, Texas & Memphis Blues, and a wee bit of Rock’n’Roll! From the picking to whining guitar, to down-and-out rhythms, if you want the blues, Garry’s got them.
Garry Cogdell has been playing the Blues for over 35 years. His singing and guitar work draw deeply from the music of the Mississippi Delta, Chicago, Texas, and sometimes even British pop influences of the 60’s for his unique style. He can play a masterful slide-guitar with his fluid flat and finger picks in the “hammer-stroke” style in several guitar tunes. His playing confirms the depth of his knowledge and understanding of the subtleties and strengths of the best of the Blues guitarists.
Cogdell’s stories of time spent with many Blues legends give you an insight into what formed and grew Blues as its own music form. In his early years he was a student of the great “Philadelphia Jerry Ricks”. Commenting on Garry’s playing, Philadelphia Jerry said, “He’s so good it’s scary.”
The last time Garry was on the 6OTS stage, he recorded the performance and plans to do it again on the 16th for a new CD. Don’t miss your chance to be the audience of part of a live recording.
