Bloodkin bio
The story of Bloodkin began when 8 year olds Daniel Hutchens and Eric Carter met in West Virginia. Their friendship was initially built on their mutual love of baseball, comic books and rock n roll but by high school, they found themselves spending much of their time building the foundation of Bloodkin in Eric’s garage. The duo relocated to Athens, Georgia and over the course of their career has accumulated a catalog of more than five hundred original songs with gripping guitar riffs summoning hard grit blues and raw poetic lyrics that speak to individual passions and universal plight. Their masterful songwriting has influenced Widespread Panic, whose John Bell raved, “Bloodkin has been one of our greatest influences. Danny and Eric’s music has a consistent blend of poetry, intestinal fortitude, and song-craftsmanship that I envy.”
2021 proved to be a life changing year for the band. In April of 2021 Bloodkin released Black Market Tango, their first studio album in 12 years. A masterful double album of “ uncompromising, literate, exhilarating rock n roll,” haled Glide Magazine. BMT’s release was followed by the passing of founding member, Daniel Hutchens, in May, 2021. The band has persevered through the hardships and is dedicated to continuing the Bloodkin legacy. With different people stepping in to support the music, “friends” is the name of the game.
“Danny and I had started to think of this band like a baseball team. It’s a long ass season and not everyone can make every game, but there always seems to be someone to step in and step up. I know it sounds horribly cliche, but lots of folks have told me “this is what Danny would’ve wanted.” And they’re probably right.”
-Eric Carter
