The coordinators of Linden Tree
Coffeehouse announce the last show of this year’s 29th season will
be on Saturday, May 3.  Two area
favorites will be returning to Wakefield in this co-bill:  Les Sampou and Paul Rishell & Annie
Raines. A night of blues (a wide embrace of styles)  and more from expert musicians our Linden
Tree audiences have frequently requested to return to our stage and now they
will.

Les Sampou  (pronounced “Less Shampoo"
w/o the h) writes and sings
Americana music that’s full of twang and blues. Her musical career has spanned
five recordings and countless listening rooms, bars, and festivals as well as
over several hundred thousand miles of road. ‘Lonesomeville’ is the diary. It
takes you through lonely hotel rooms, endless highways, and the bedrooms of
hard-living lovers. “Sly, lived-in songs about mismatched lives, hard goodbyes,
and honky tonk heartbreak; all of which makes Lonesomeville not such a bad
place to be after all, especially if she’s playing there." www.lessampou.com



 



W.C. Handy Award Winners, Paul Rishell & Annie Raines are
rousing interpreters of country blues, the original acoustic style that gave
birth to electric blues, R & B, and rock. When
22-year-old harmonica ace Annie Raines
first sat in with 42-year-old country blues guitarist Paul Rishell in a
Boston bar in 1992, few in the crowd suspected that they were witnessing the
beginning of a musical partnership that would span the next fifteen years and
counting. Touring internationally at festivals, clubs, and concert halls, and
teaching workshops and seminars, Paul Rishell & Annie Raines have earned
loyal fans around the globe.
