Old State House Concert

Bad Juju

    On Friday, October 8, 2021, Delaware Friends of Folk will present the first event in their 2021-22 Old State House concert series, inside the Old State House on The Green in Dover.  This is the eighth season in the series which is produced in cooperation with the Delaware Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs and First State Heritage Park Due to Covid restrictions, seating and is supported by a generous grant from the Kent County Fund for the Arts.  The concert is free and open to the public.  The one-hour performance will begin at 7:30 pm.  Admission will be by reservation only.  Please call 302-992-8080 to reserve your seat.  Face masks are required.

     This month’s show features local electric blues band Bad Juju in a special acoustic performance.  Bad Juju is all about good old fashioned, shoot-from-the-hip blues, rhythm & blues, and soul.  They claim to never play a song the same, but also point out that’s what keeps it interesting and energized. Typically a bar band, they were offered the opportunity to play the Delmarva Folk Festival in 2017, under the condition that they had to play acoustic guitars.  They accepted the challenge and discovered a whole new way to do their music.  Their night was made when they realized the audience was actually listening.  They asked for another chance and we are glad to welcome them for another acoustic performance in a great venue.

     The Old State House concert series is presented by Delaware Friends of Folk.  These events are supported by a grant from the Kent County Fund for the Arts, an organization that aims to enhance the quality of life, educate, and broaden perspectives by supporting the arts and arts organizations in Kent County.  Support is also provided by the First State Heritage Park, a partnership of State and City agencies under the leadership of Delaware State Parks and the Delaware Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs.  Delaware Friends of Folk are partially supported by a grant from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts. The Division promotes Delaware arts events on www.DelawareScene.com.
