The Speech and Debate Forum, a department of communication student organization, is proud to announce the arrival of New Orleans artist Spencer Bohren at ULM.
For the past 40 years, Bohren has spent his life as a “road scholar,” traveling the country and speaking to students at universities. His presentation is a performance/lecture that sheds light on the origins and development of the traditional American music he celebrates.
Bohren entitles his performance “Down the Dirt Road Blues,” which follows a single song’s journey from 16-century Africa through America’s culture up through the Rolling Stones.
His performance will be Friday, Feb. 18 at 7:30 p.m. in the Emy-Lou Hall. He will also perform at ULM’s first ever guitar festival on Feb. 16-18.
