The Franke Center in Marshall will turn their intimate Downstage Club into a Chicago Blues Club on Saturday, September 29, as they present a night of hot Blues with one of Chicago’s most versatile Bluesmen, Maurice John Vaughn, in a duo performance. This fun night of music will feature Chicago themed beer and snacks in addition to the Franke’s normal beverage options. Doors open at 7 PM, and music starts at 7:30.
A triple threat on guitar, saxophone and vocals, Vaughn writes powerful, innovative and often humorous songs that spring directly from his vast musical experience. His soulful and passionate vocals are convincing because they are earned -- Vaughn means what he sings. Coming out of the streets of Chicago, Vaughn was raised on Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf, black Top 40 and James Brown. Like the greats who have come before him, he has incorporated his various influences into a blues and R&B style that is completely his own.
A typical Vaughn show involves a close rapport with the audience. His style is comfortable and inclusive. He'll talk to the audience as if they were all sitting in his living room. "You won't just see me stand there with my guitar," Vaughn says. One way he has learned to keep his live show fast paced and always fun is by playing for kids. Vaughn often plays in schools for children who have never heard blues music. He'll update Sonny Boy Williamson's Help Me to include lyrics about homework. "Kids have short attention spans, so I need to keep things fun and exciting or I'll lose them. I always keep this in mind when I'm performing in clubs." Vaughn loves to travel and is constantly updating his sound and style. His abundant talent and experience place him at the forefront of the contemporary blues world. His innovative songs, passionate singing, blistering guitar playing and romping saxophone mark his music as visionary work from a true blues original.
The Franke Center’s Downstage Club is an intimate 100 seat venue with flexible seating, convenient bar service, and great acoustics. Make your plans now to be there on September 29 for what promises to be an entertaining evening of acoustic Blues with one of Chicago’s greatest talents, in a “Blues Club” atmosphere. Tickets can be purchased online at www.frankecenterforthearts.org, or by calling the Box Office at 269-781-0001.
