RACINE — Internationally acclaimed blues duo The Original Delta Fireballs featuring Geneva Red will perform at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 14, at the Racine Public Library to help eliminate hunger in Racine County. The library is at 75 Seventh St.

The Original Delta Fireballs are a classic sounding unit playing danceable “juke joint” music in that energetic rough and tumble style that is well known along the rural southern levee and plantation towns that dot the Mississippi river delta. Big City Rhythm & Blues Magazine says “Geneva Red is one of the top female “blues harp” players on the scene today.” and “This pair has taken the humble duo format and revitalized it.” Geneva Red, plays harmonica and sings, while her Roadster’s guitarist Jackie 5 & Dime plays guitar and drums at the same time in the tradition of Memphis musician Joe Hill Louis.

Geneva Red is one of the few female instrumentalists performing on the “blues harp” and leading her own band. Couple this with her harmonica ability, strong vocal talent, and high energy show, and you’ve got the chemistry that immediately establishes her as a rare and exciting performer.

The all-ages performance will be held in the adult service area on the second floor of the library. Admission is a donation of two non-perishable food items for the Racine County Food Bank.
