Blues Musician Kent Burnside at Heartwood Soundstage
February 4 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
$25Event Navigation
The North Central Florida Blues Society is excited to announce Kent Burnside is playing Heartwood Soundstage on February 4. Blues Prescription will open the show.
Kent Burnside was born in 1971 in Memphis Tennessee, and spent his early years in Holly Springs, Mississippi. He is the oldest Grandson and one of the closest pupils of the legendary R.L. Burnside. The first lesson RL taught Kent was that to be a bluesman you have to find your own rhythm on the guitar. You can’t play someone else’s rhythm – as rhythm comes from your heart.
Kent got his real start in the music business playing with Jimbo Mathus (Fat Possum Records) and going on tour with Buddy Guy in the early 2000s. That was when he started developing his signature style of blues: dark, hypnotic, inviting and very danceable.
Kent performed for Samuel L. Jackson to help Jackson prepare for his role in Black Snake Moan (2007).
