He will “sing, play and speak through the history of the Blues from 18th century field hollers, to acoustic delta blues, to chicago blues, to rhythm and blues, to urbane blues ballads by Tom Waits and Elvis Costello, to lush and astringent jazz blues, all seasoned with a few of his original blues.”
