Blues and Magic Wow Crowd

Carrboro, NC. Audience members at the Carrboro Music Festival, Sunday night, gasped as bluesman Doctor Oakroot waved his hand over an apple and transformed it into a silk scarf.

Fans of Oakroot were pleased and surprised by the new addition to the act. For the first time in a local show, Oakroot performed amazing magic tricks in addition to his usual acoustic blues.

Reached onstage after the performance at Padgett Station on Main Street, Oakroot said, “The tricks tonight – restoring a cut necktie and changing an apple into a silk scarf – were just a preview of things to come. I plan to incorporate grand illusion into future shows.”

Grand illusion is the art of making people and large objects appear and disappear or do otherwise impossible things.

Oakroot continued, “The point here is not just to throw in some magic tricks, but to tell a story that ties in with the songs and illustrate the story with magic tricks.”

Oakroot will perform his blues and magic show again at his Halloween party, October 30 at a venue to be announced. Check at www.doctoroakroot.com for more information as the date approaches.
