Timeline
Cephas & Wiggins was an American acoustic blues duo, composed of the guitarist John Cephas (September 4, 1930 – March 4, 2009) and the harmonica player Phil Wiggins (born May 8, 1954).
They were known for playing Piedmont blues.
Both musicians were born in Washington D.C. Cephas, who was 24 years older than Wiggins, grew up in Bowling Green, Virginia.
They first met at a jam session at the Smithsonian's Festival of American Folklife in 1976 and played together in Wilbert "Big Chief" Ellis's band.
When Ellis died, they decided to continue as a duo.
In 1980, Cephas & Wiggins were recorded by the German archivists Siegfried Christmann and Axel Küstner.
These recordings, their first as a duo, were released the following year as a part of the Living Country Blues USA series on the German label L+R.
Until the late 1980s, Cephas made his primary living as a carpenter at the D.C. National Armory, playing music on the side.
Their first U.S. release, the album Dog Days of August, was issued by Flying Fish Records in 1986.
Two more albums followed from Flying Fish.
After they left the label, they released one album for the New York–based Chesky Records and four albums for Alligator Records.
Cephas was a recipient of a 1989 National Heritage Fellowship awarded by the National Endowment for the Arts, which is the United States government's highest honor in the folk and traditional arts.
In the 1990s, he became a professional musician, sometimes earning money by teaching classes and workshops.
As a duo, they toured extensively, primarily courtesy of the sponsorship of the United States Department of State.
They performed together across the USA, as well as in Africa, Asia, South and Central America, and the Soviet Union.
They released the album Richmond Blues on Folkways Records in 2008.
Cephas died of natural causes (pulmonary fibrosis) on March 4, 2009.
