Description

An Evening with Blind Boy Paxton (partially seated show) Presented by Signal Kitchen & Festival of Fools 21+ Blind Boy Paxton Transforming Club Metronome to a 1920's Speakeasy We are proud to welcome Blind Boy Paxton back to Burlington. This time, we're collabing with our good friends at Radio Bean to convert Club Metronome into a prohibition era speak easy complete with custom cocktails, table service, and transformative vibes that will take you back to a earlier time. Although still in his 20s, Jerron Paxton has earned a reputation for transporting audiences back to the 1920's and making them wish they could stay there for good. Paxton may be one of the greatest multi-instrumentalists that you have not heard of yet (unless you were at his previous sold-out shows in Burlington). This young musician sings and plays banjo, guitar, piano, fiddle, harmonica, Cajun accordion, and the bones (percussion). Paxton has an eerie ability to transform traditional jazz, blues, folk, and country into the here and now, and make it real. In addition, he mesmerizes audiences with his humor and storytelling. He's a world-class talent and a uniquely colorful character that has been on the cover of Living Blues Magazine. Paxton's sound is influenced by the likes of Fats Waller and "Blind" Lemon Jefferson. According to Will Friedwald in the Wall Street Journal, Paxton is "virtually the only music-maker of his generation—playing guitar, banjo, piano and violin, among other implements—to fully assimilate the blues idiom of the 1920s and ‘30s."
