Free show! 19th Street Red’s blues is not the “polite” blues. It is the low down, razor’s edge gutbucket blues that makes dancers want to sweat and shake their butts. This gritty style reminds you of the street music of Chicago’s Jew-town and the lowdown groove of Muddy Waters.In Clarksdale, Mississippi, 19th Street Red is a celebrity. Presiding over his street spot next to “Ground Zero” blues club for years, and raising the bar at his favorite juke joint, “Red’s Lounge”, 19th Street Red has been an integral part of this scene. The 6-hour drive from his New Orleans home is a ritual. The ghosts of his influences, John Lee Hooker, Howlin’ Wolf and Muddy Waters are conjured with his raspy but musical vocal style and the raw lashing of his Les Paul slide guitar.
