Blues legend and Grammy Award winner David “Honeyboy” Edwards will conduct a storytelling and blues performance Tuesday, March 17, at 7 p.m. in the Greer Garson Theatre of the Owen fine Arts Center.

Edwards has been the subject of numerous films including most recently, “WALK HARD: The Dewey Cox Story,” Martin Scorsese’s PBS series “The Blues,” Eric Clapton’s “Crossroads Guitar Festival,” and his own award-winning documentary film “Honeyboy.”

Edwards will not only perform his slide guitar but he will share stories of growing up during the Civil Rights Era. He describes detailed accounts of blues folklore, including his recollections of the day Robert Johnson died.

The free concert is a part of “Freedom, Keeping the Faith: Civil Rights and Social Justice 45 Years After Freedom Summer” which is being put on by the Corporate Communications and Public Affairs department of the Meadows School of the Arts.
