The Artists Hand has the distinct pleasure of welcoming internationally renowned blues guitarist and multi-talented musician, Ernie Hawkins, to perform at the gallery for a very special occasion...It's our first birthday! Ernie Hawkins was born and raised in Pittsburgh and has been playing blues and ragtime since he was a teenager, learning to play the guitar, mandolin, and banjo. Since those early days Ernie has performed around the world, and alongside blues greats, Son House, Mance Lipscomb, and Fred McDowell, to name a few. He has released 7 CDs and a slew of instructional DVDs, and has graciously brought his teaching skills to many guitar camps.
Ernie specializes in Piedmont blues, which is characterized by the distinct Piedmont fingerpicking style.
Check out the video below for just a sampling of what Ernie will have in store for us all:
