It features guest musicians: Bonnie Raitt, Billy Gibbons, Mick Fleetwood, Taj Mahal, Elvin Bishop, Keb’ Mo’ and Terrance Simien. And happily, Struck Down has two Grammy nominations!
ALBERT CUMMINGS
Albert Cummings is a blues guitarist and singer. He has been steadily rising in the music world since his debut album in 2003. His latest release, STRONG, recently achieved the coveted #1 position on the Billboard Blues Album Sales Chart! This monumental achievement underscores the album’s widespread acclaim. It has deep connection with fans and critics alike. Cummings, a self-taught guitarist from Massachusetts, has received praise for his powerful guitar technique and expressive performances. His style draws comparisons to blues legends like Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jimi Hendrix.
LAURIE MORVAN
Blues Foundation Award Winner Laurie Morvan has built a career playing guitar driven, rocking blues, with a back pocket full of well-warranted swagger, and songs that reflect true craftsmanship. In an era where fewer and fewer artists are truly aware of (and engage) their audience, she is a true entertainer; a musical ringmaster leading her devastatingly tight band through a myriad of
twists and turns with a level of finesse and musical intuition that only comes from years of working together.
