Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

Forty-five years ago Doc MacLean was playing Charlie Patton songs in Son House’s living room. More recently he’s been self driving across Africa with a battered National guitar and a small PA, playing in places where things are burning by the side of the road: places where dreams mix with cold beer and red wine: places where joy and sorrow and life and death crowd every moment.
