Jerron Paxton in session

The Blues Show with Cerys Matthews

Available for 28 days

Cerys's weekly round-up of the blues you need to hear, from all around the world and in all shapes and sizes! This week, Cerys welcomes back singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jerron Paxton, to perform live in the studio. Jerron grew up in Los Angeles, and is a skilled interpreter of Black traditional music, having spent his life learning the multifaceted musical dialects of blues, old-time, ragtime, and Cajun music. He plays guitar, banjo, piano, fiddle and other instruments with deep histories and ties to Black American music — each with a master’s touch. Produced by BBC Audio for BBC Radio 2.
