Scott Ainslie takes the stage for an intimate evening concert rooted in the deep traditions of American blues and folk music. A nationally respected guitarist, historian, and educator, he has spent decades studying and performing country blues, apprenticing with legendary elder musicians and carrying forward techniques that trace back to the earliest 20th-century recordings. Scott is widely known for his deep scholarship and his acclaimed instructional materials on traditional fingerstyle and slide guitar. What makes his concerts special is the balance of head and heart: masterful musicianship paired with vivid storytelling. His performances weave dynamic fingerpicking, soulful slide work, original compositions, and traditional repertoire into an evening that feels both timeless and alive. Earlier in the day, Scott will lead a hands-on workshop titled "Unlocking Open Tunings." Get a discount to attend both by choosing the Workshop + Show option. https://cattailmusic.com/
