Songs at the fire: classical guitar beside Ben Holt, Friday night into Saturday's dawn

A classical guitar and an open voice at the pre-dawn grate, singing the circle toward first light.

What Derek carried

Derek's offering came after the stages went quiet. Friday night ran into Saturday's dawn, and at the big grate he sat on a low bench beside Ben Holt, a classical guitar across his knees, a capo on the neck, while Ben kept time on the djembe. The two of them sang together through a long song, the flames in front of them and a ring of blanket-wrapped listeners around them, and closed on a laughing freestyle about the crew at the fire. No stage and no announcement: it was music made for the people still awake, the kind that turns a fire into a home for an hour.

  • classical guitar and song at the Friday pre-dawn fire, with Ben Holt on djembe
  • live-looped soul-fusion (his own name for his music, on his public profile)
