The 78 Griots

Portland, Oregon

The 78 Griots play country blues, gospel, old-time, and ragtime music from the 1920s and 30s.

“We want to keep the songs, stories, and traditions alive,”
says guitarist Gordon “Hopper” Hopvine.

In the Griots, Hopvine is joined by singer/percussionist Lamar Blanco, and the virtuoso John aka “Jack” Smoake on dobro, mandolin, and vocals.
