2022 Grammy-winning bluesman Cedric Burnside returns to the UK for the first time in over 3 years.

Cedric Burnside was born in to a family of blues greats, most notably his grandfather RL Burnside who brought him up in Holly Springs, Mississippi.

The blues is music for all time-past, present, and future-and few artists simultaneously exemplify those multiple temporal moments of the genre like North Mississippi's Cedric Burnside. The Mississippi Hill Country blues guitarist and singer/songwriter contains within him the legacy and future of the region's prescient sound stories. At once African and American and southern and Mississippian, these stories tell about love, hurt, connection, and redemption in the South. His newest contribution to this tradition is I Be Trying, a 13-track album treatise on life's challenges, pleasures, and beauty. "Life can go any kind of way," Burnside says. With almost 30 years of performing and living blues in him, he would know.

"It's who I am, what I am. I am Hill country blues."
