Cedric Burnside is blues royalty.

The grandson and longtime drummer of the late great RL Burnside, he carries the mantle of Mississippi Hill Country blues - with its commitment to polyrhythmic percussion and its refusal of familiar blues chord progressions - to new audiences around the world.

These days predominantly a guitarist, Cedric plays stripped back, and sizzles like a live-wire.

 Cedric's music echoes the past, present and future all at once and expands upon the traditional darkness of blues with themes of love and hope.

You don't know soul-stirring until you know Cedric Burnside.
