Blues Artists

[LawskiHoopza]

I have recently really got into blues music and I was wondering if there were any decent artists playing this year?

Very thin on the ground this year.

Steve Winwood would suit though, and Michael Kinukawa is quite bluesy.

Alabama Shakes also worth catching - quality blues rock.

[Gnomicide]

Gary Clark jnr

[Stu H]

yes, Gary Clark Jr - superb.

Posted the clip below in a separate thread about him.

Was sure he was on the Saturday (according to his website) but now on the Sunday - which is brilliant for me, and I think he'll be a great way to finish the Sunday.

Gary Clark Jnr is another one introduced to me by people on here, so thanks for posting the clips.

but every time i look at the line up i see something else that i'd be very happy watching - it's got to the point where i'm almost apprehensive to look more, there's just too much good stuff! STOP SHARING GOOD MUSIC DAMN YOU!

The lack of Bourbon St makes me sad, but thanks for these tips!

Thanks for the advice,had a listen to Gary Clark Jnr. and Michael Kinukawa and they sound pretty decent.

Gonna now have to make a few alterations to my schedule to fit them in!

I am really looking forward to seeing this.

Pressures on Stu.

I've yet to see him live, so I can only go by the youTube clips, but his stuff is great!

I can't stomach Mumford & Sons churning out the same song for 2 hours, so this is a welcome alternative for my Sunday evening!

Xavier Rudd, after him, sounds good as well.

There is a good guitarist on one of the stages called John Smith, who does a great version of QOTSA....

Check out Turrentine Jones, they are playing the bbc introducing stage on the Friday
