Grammy Award-winning Mississippi Hill Country blues guitarist and singer/songwriter Cedric Burnside embodies both the past and future of the genre. As the grandson of blues luminary RL Burnside, Cedric was able to learn his craft from one of the best and hit the road with his “Big Daddy” at the tender age of 13. Since then, he has emerged as one of the blues’ brightest stars, expertly blending tradition and innovation into a distinct yet familiar sound. His latest album, 2021’s celebrated “I Be Trying,” was recorded at Memphis’ iconic Royal Studios and serves as a mission statement about what contemporary blues should strive to be.
