Dazzle presents Kent Burnside Blues Band on Friday, May 3 at 6:30 and 9 p.m.
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
Kent first heard the blues while watching his grandfather R.L. Burnside perform on the family farm for the locals. Kent used to sell sandwiches to audience members for a dollar a piece during the performances.
The first lesson R. L. taught Kent was that to be a bluesman you need to find your rhythm on the guitar. “You can’t play someone else’s rhythm – as rhythm comes from your heart.”
