Sue Foley and John Hart at 贝博体育's Sunset Ballroom.
Award winning blues artist Sue Foley presented a master class and solo concert at 贝博体育's Sunset Ballroom on March 20th as part of Women's History Month. Drawing from her soon to be published book on the female pioneers of guitar, Foley, introduced by 贝博体育 Professor of Communication John Hart, Ph.D., delivered an evening of varied guitar styles and musical genres interspersed with history and stories all tied together with Foley's personal narrative to an enthralled 贝博体育 ʻohana.
Foley is an acclaimed guitarist working on a Ph.D. in music history whose interviews with Bonnie Raitt, Nancy Wilson, Charo, Joan Armatrading and many others will soon be available in book form. The prestigious Austin Music Awards recently named her “Best Blues Musician” and “Best Guitarist” for 2023.
The event was sponsored by the 贝博体育 College of Liberal Arts, the Division of Arts, Communication, Languages and Media, the Student Activities Fee Committee and the Residential Honors Program.
