Blind Boy Paxton is known by many as the ‘living embodiment of the blues in the 21st
century’ and makes his triumphant return to NZ after a string of sold out shows 2 years ago.

Jerron ‘Blind Boy’ Paxton’s live shows showcase his unparalleled skill across the banjo,
fiddle, piano, harmonica, guitar, and the Cajun accordion, effortlessly transporting
audiences to a time long ago. Interspersed with heartwarming narratives and humorous
anecdotes, Blind Boy Paxton’s signature ragtime and country blues draws deep inspiration
from his southern roots, and seamlessly brings old time tradition into the modern day.
This world class act is one not to be missed.

“Jerron “Blind Boy” Paxton is, in the words of The Wall Street Journal, “virtually the only
music-maker of his generation — playing guitar, banjo, piano and violin, among other
implements — to fully assimilate the blues idiom of the 1920s and ’30s.” This storyteller
and deeply talented multi-instrumentalist will captivate with his musical literacy and
authentic blues.”
