About me: This is a FAN SITE for Charlie and Rose Lucas, Wilmington North Carolinas own grandparents of the blues. Not one blues artist in this town does not know the work of Charlie and Rose. Charlie has played lead guitar for legends such as James Brown, Ottis Redding, BB King and Muddy Waters. Rose is an acomplished singer and pianist and still plays organ for their church on Sundays. They have played clubs and festivals all over the South Eastern region as a duo. The have played the National Women in Blues Festival twice and it is tradition for Rose to open the event. Charlie plays in support of her at the festival but can rip out some gutsy vocals himself. The video footage below is from the 1st NWiB.
Who I'd like to meet: Fans of Charlie and Rose and fans of the blues!
Hey Charlie & Rose: Thanks for the friend request. Would love to hook up one of these days! All the very best, Octavia When was the last time you heard a woman play wicked harmonica with unnaturally Long notes, sing emotionally charged powerful vocals, and play finger style guitar, all in one woman? Have a listen and Play my harps to my music @ OctaviaBlues.com Take Care, all the very best, Hope to hear back from ya, Octavia
I've heard so much about you that it was a real treat to see your set at the WIB. I'm hoping for a little warmer weather next time but I really enjoyed your & Charlie's set.
Its easy to see why you are the true matriarch of the Wilmington Blues family.
