Singer-songwriter and guitarist Keb’ Mo’s music is a living link to the seminal Delta blues that traveled up the Mississippi River and across the expanse of America—informing all of its musical roots—before evolving into a universally celebrated art form.
Mo’s music is a purely post-modern expression of the artistic and cultural journey that has transformed the blues and his own point of view. His distinctive sound embraces multiple eras and genres, including pop, rock, folk and jazz, in which he is well-versed.
Keb’ Mo’ is a three-time Grammy winner for Contemporary Blues Album and was Grammy nominated for Country Song of the Year for ‘I Hope’ a co-write with the Dixie Chicks that appears on their latest album. His songs have also been covered by such artists as BB King, Wynonna, Joe Cocker, Buddy Guy, Robert Palmer and Tom Jones.
Kristina Train is a singer from Savanna, Georgia who uses a unique combination of 60s/70s soul-pop influence from some of her idols like Aretha Franklin, Dusty Springfield and Carole King. Her story is in many ways the reerse of Dusty Springfield’s in her being a southern girl who went to London to find inspiration and record her debut with British producers/songwriters Jimmy Hogarth and Eg White. |
