Durham County Poets

Join us at Franklin Opera House April 9 at 7:30 for Durham County Poets! These five seasoned musicians, all of whom are also songwriters, manage to work together individually and collaboratively in composing their music. Delving into a variety of styles and genres, their musical influences include a broad range of artists from The Band to Dire Straits, and from James Taylor to Muddy Waters. They stand out for their original blend of blues, gospel, and folk. With four acclaimed albums under their belt, including their latest effort, HAND ME DOWN BLUES (September 2019), produced by Bill Garret, they have made it to several "Best-of" lists and charted on satellite and community blues radio stations. They have released 4 indie albums in 10 years with their latest-almost-all-blues effort receiving a JUNO nomination, followed by 2 Maple Blues nominations and a 2021 Canadian Folk Music Awards nomination for lead vocalist, Kevin Harvey. In 2020 they took home the Juno Award for Blues Album of the Year.
