About this Event
“A leading light of the younger generation of blues artists…a jubilantly raucous, crispy, fully realized sound enriched by unselfconscious virtuosity…musically adventurous, biting and exploratory.” –Living Blues
“D.K. Harrell picks up the baton and carries his [music] into the future, creating formidable electric blues.” –Vintage Guitar
“D.K. Harrell stands tall. His mature musical conversations are inspiring…his voice custom-built for the blues. A funky soul stew of traditional music and contemporary lyrics.” –Blues Music Magazine
Guitarist, vocalist and songwriter D.K. Harrell, one of the most formidable young stars of the current blues resurgence, sounds like no one else on the scene today. With his stinging, single-note string bending, deep soul vocals, and attention-grabbing original songs, the 27-year-old Harrell—a major draw at blues festivals around the world—is already in a league of his own.
Now, with his Alligator Records debut album, Talkin’ Heavy, D.K. Harrell cements his place among the leading voices of the new generation of blues players. This Blues Music Award-winning guitarist with a soul man’s voice and a well-earned reputation as a mesmerizing live performer delivers fresh, emotion-packed blues informed by the tradition he loves and played with the foot-pounding fervor of a revival tent preacher.
