Kent Burnside
Kent Burnside was born in 1971 in Memphis and spent his youth in Holly Springs in the middle of the North Hill Country. He is the eldest grandson and one of the closest disciples and successors of the legendary R.L. Burnside, from whom he learned to play the guitar while strumming together on his porch. Growing up in Mississippi in the 1970s, where the wounds of the Civil Rights struggle were still fresh, he was literally amazed by the unifying power of music, where whites and blacks alike peacefully gathered to hear his grandfather play at house parties. Kent's first stint in his professional career was working with guitarist and singer Jimbo Mathus (Squirrel Nut Zippers) for the Fat Possum Records label, but then his star moment came when he played in the legendary Buddy Guy's band after 2000. It was then that his characteristic blues style was born: dark, hypnotic, challenging and very danceable. Kent worked for Samuel L. Jackson to help him prepare for his role in Black Snake Moan (In Chains, 2007). He has also collaborated on stage shows of The Blues Brothers with Dan Aykroyd, who is a big fan of his. Kent performs in clubs and festivals across the United States, and has also toured Europe, Australia and New Zealand with success. He has two released albums to his credit: My World Is So Cold (2014) and Kent Burnside and the Flood Brothers (2016).
Steven's
Young six-member band from the west of Bohemia, which his work mixes elements of blues and rock and he is not afraid to grind into funk grooves as well. The genre-diverse arrangements are based on solid rhythms, guitar riffs, and the overall color of the sound is completed by the voices of the female vocalists.
In December 2021, Steven's debut single "Enough" was released. In April 2022, Steven's won the Grand Jury Prize in the Blues Aperitif competition organized by the Blues Alive Festival. October 2022 was marked by the launch of the debut album Runnin' Man and the release of the second clip After the Show. Steven's is currently being talked about as one of the great hopes of the local blues rock scene.
