One of the “big three” composers from Ragtime’s “Golden Age”, Lamb created beautiful, lyrical compositions that have remained favorites with performers and audiences for nearly 100 years. John Partridge, music director of the Wine Country Ragtime Festival, will discuss Lamb’s life and work illustrating his talk with live performances of some of Lamb’s greatest compositions. Other unusual works included Celestine Waltzes and Lilliputian's Bazaar. His ragtime compositions are lyrical and romantic and of such a high quality that he is now regarded as one of the greatest ragtime composers of that era.

He was a young man from New Jersey who fell in love with the music of Scott Joplin and began writing rags of his own sometime around 1900. Most of the composers and performers from Ragtime’s “Golden Age” (1890 to 1920) were African-Americans from the Midwest.
