Sunday Session: The Berberines

The Berberines, presented in a Sunday Session at Renegade Wine Bar in London, perform blues, country and folk, three roots traditions linked by the American South.

The Berberines perform blues, country and folk, three traditions that share roots in the American South. Blues grew out of African American communities in the Mississippi Delta and built on twelve-bar forms; country draws on Appalachian and southern string-band music; folk carries songs passed down through oral tradition. Listeners who follow roots music will hear how these styles connect.

This Sunday Session takes place at Renegade Wine Bar, a London venue that hosts concerts and shows. The night suits anyone who wants live blues, country and folk in a wine bar setting. Blues, country and folk have long been played in small rooms, from juke joints to coffee houses, so a bar setting fits this repertoire's history.
