The Blue Ridge Music Center celebrates the life and legacy of legendary NC guitarist Doc Watson on with a very special program call Doc AT 100.
Hosted by author Ted Olson, DOC AT 100 is a concert program celebrating the life and legacy of Doc Watson by artists who performed with Doc, who were profoundly influenced by his music, and who called him a friend. This includes T. Michael Coleman and Jack Lawrence, who performed, recorded, and toured with Doc longer than any other musicians he worked with. Joining T. Michael and Jack are fellow guitarists Wayne Henderson and Jack Hinshelwood, who were both heavily impacted by Doc’s music through his many recordings and performances, and Wayne counted Doc as a close friend, especially in Doc’s later years when he enjoyed visiting Wayne in his guitar making shop in Rugby, Virginia.
The show explores the history and legacy of Doc Watson, who was born in Deep Gap, NC in 1923, and went on to become perhaps the most influential acoustic guitarist in the world of folk music. The show will include remembrances of Doc with some special stories, and feature the many powerful songs that Watson played and recorded during his career.
