Press Release

Big Bill Morganfield brings the blues to Carleton County!

It is the dream of many fathers for their sons to follow in their footsteps.
If McKinley Morganfield, better known as the blues giant Muddy Waters, were
alive today, he would be very proud of his son Big Bill Morganfield.
Possessing more than just his musical pedigree, Big Bill has the voice, song
writing skills and stage presence to become a major talent in his own right.

Born in Chicago in 1956, Big Bill was raised by his grandmother in southern
Florida and now resides in the Atlanta area.  His father's blues legacy
lives on in the tools of his art.  Big Bill has both Muddy's touring amp and
the guitars on which he composed some of his earliest works.  Most
importantly, Bill carries Muddy's spirit and love for the blues, and says he
feels a spiritual bond with his father when he's on stage.

Big Bill's renown continues to increase with performances at festivals and
other venues in the United States, Canada, and Europe.  Last year in
Washington D.C., Big Bill was a featured artist in a Kennedy Center "Tribute
to Muddy Waters" and mesmerized the audience with a spine tingling
performance.

The Carleton Victoria Arts Council is thrilled to present Big Bill
Morganfield in concert at Carleton North High School, in Bristol.  The show
starts at 8:00 pm and doors open at 7:30 pm, Saturday, April 20, 2002.
Tickets are $12 for adults, with discounts for seniors and students.
Advance tickets are available from The Owl Book Place in Woodstock, the
Andrew and Laura McCain
Library in Florenceville, and Nissen's Market in Perth Andover.  Please
phone Peter, at 278-5154, or Sarah, at 375-4795, for more information.
