Kent Burnside is a modern torchbearer of Mississippi Hill Country blues, carrying forward the raw, hypnotic grooves of his legendary grandfather, R.L. Burnside. Based in the heart of the Delta but regularly touring nationwide, Kent blends his family’s gritty musical legacy with his own laidback charisma, delivering foot-stomping rhythms and slide guitar grit on tracks like "Hill Country Blood" and "Daddy Told Me." His releases, including collaborations with the Flood Brothers, keep the Hill Country tradition alive while injecting fresh energy through juke-joint-ready anthems and swampy, soulful storytelling. Whether channeling blues tradition or adding his own spin, Kent’s music feels like a back-porch jam session passed down through generations.
