The Songster Series is a free event at Creative Alliance in Baltimore that provides a far wider understanding of Maryland musicians than audiences are typically given. Host Brooks Long seeks insight into all aspects of their artistry through performances and conversations that illustrate their influences and personal histories.

"Songster" is one of many terms used to describe southern musicians that played a wide range of styles. Warner Williams is thought to be the last of these "human jukeboxes". Although this series will show that he is in fact not the last, there isn't a more perfect person to be the first artist of this series. With him is Warner's longtime musical partner, blues harpist and harmonica player Jay Summerour, with whom Warner forms the duo Little Bit A Blues.

The Songster Series is made possible by The Robert W. Deutsch Foundation, sponsor of Brooks Long's fellowship with Creative Alliance and his programs.
