Oh but if that were only true. Check out the podcast "The Blues Kitchen" currently on Spotify and likely other sources. A great mix of old and new, they play samples of some great tunes for you to discover.

Thank you, I will check it out.

While not what I would call "new" to the scene as he has been recording since the mid-1990s, the blues player I listen to the most remains Alvin Youngblood Hart. I first saw him at our Natchez Bluff Blues Festival which was kind of a homecoming for Alvis as he had lived in that town for a number of years while serving with the Coast Guard. Just jaw dropping good.

Todd Albright is a killer on 12 string acoustic.

Again, not new, but give a listen to Tom Feldmann!

Just been reading about him. Thanks a lot for the recommendation! :-)

To answer your question (again, indirectly) check out Joe Bonamassa’s record label, Keeping the Blues Alive. He has a lot of talent signed. Ive found record companies web sites are a good source of artist info.

That is a link to the store, with artist’s releases. If this is breaking forum rules, I trust a mod will remove it, with my apologies.

Never heard of Eric Gales, but will have a listen today. Cheers! :-)

Valerie Turner - she's been around a while, but gets overlooked, I think.

If you like Kingfish (I do) check out his "Empty Promises" video on youtube.

Check out Quinn Sullivan! Saw him at age 15 playing with Buddy Guy and the kid was fabulous…an incredible prodigy who has a feel for the blues.

I've been listing to Marcus King lately.

A young guy with an old soul.
