Edward McKay Cultural Series presents:

Atavistic power: Soul, gospel, folk and blues traditions in independent music

So much new music rests on very old foundations, few of which are stronger than American gospel, soul, folk and blues traditions. How are those traditions being used in independent music now, and what does their use say about those using them?
