PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
"Grammy-winning songwriter Terry Abrahamson co-wrote three songs with Muddy Waters, recorded for legendary labels Chess and Columbia...many written with Muddy by the light of a candle in a Boston Bar at 2am. His work has been performed by six Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees including Muddy Waters, Prince, Joan Jett, John Lee Hooker, Les Paul and Clarence ""The Big Man"" Clemons of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. His tales of a life onstage, offstage and backstage with Muddy Waters, the Rolling Stones, Prince, Johnny Winter, Bob Dylan, BB King, Jimmy Page, the Chambers Brothers, the Blues Brothers, John Lee Hooker and the legends of the Blues - enlivened by rare video, music, photos and riotous tales - have earned cheers in his live events at museums, libraries, and schools as well as at the Chicago Blues Festival, and at Black History Month celebrations for the Chicago Public Library and the Brooklyn Music School. Terry's mission to honor - with joy and reverence - the roles of the Blues as America's first voice of protest, the foundation of Rock & Roll and an instrument of social change have elevated our nation's original art form and the engine for the British Invasion to its rightful status as the music that defined generations and validates the love so many have for Blues, Rock & Roll and the Classic Rock. Terry has garnered a total of three Grammy nominations and two Blues Music Awards. He has served and illuminated the Blues in dramatic theater works that have rocked the stages at Chicago's DuSable Museum of African American History and Provincetown's Tennessee Williams Festival, television for CBS and HBO as well as in his roles as Blues journalist, educator and dj. He is the only person in the HISTORY OF EVERYTHING to have had his work performed at The Boston Celtics games, the Smithsonian, on The Oprah Winfrey Show, at Johnnie Cochran's funeral and before the US Supreme Court."
