Bonnie Blue: James Cotton’s Life in the Blues

A FILM AND MUSIC SPECIAL EVENT! Born in 1935 on Bonnie Blue plantation in Tunica, MS, apprenticing with Sonny Boy Williamson II and Howlin’ Wolf, and schooled by Muddy Waters, James ‘Super Harp’ Cotton became a mentor to harp players around the globe as he brought the delta blues into mainstream rock ‘n roll. Orphaned at nine, Cotton’s journey tracks America’s history and his story is one of empowerment during a time when the weight of racial inequity made the journey seem impossible. Bonnie Blue – James Cotton’s Life in the Blues is a unique portrait of an era and its impact today. Cotton’s music made history; his musical voice was unique, and the blues were never the same. (TICKETS AVAILABLE AT LINK BELOW)

Screening at the Cotuit Center for the Arts. Ticket link below.

Included in ticket price: Following the film there will be a concert featuring James Montgomery and special guests.
