The welcome sign entering the great state of Mississippi proudly reads “Birthplace of America’s Music.” And that music is the blues. Evolving from the sad songs of African American slaves, the blues birthed all other popular genres from R&B and rap to pop and country. American music is still kept alive through the music of modern-day bluesmen like Ra’Shad the Blues Kid. Groomed in the same breeding grounds in The Mississippi Pine Belt that produced musical greats such as Sam Myers, The Nelson Brothers, and opera star Leontyne Price, his music is steeped in the down-home soul that has been an inspiration to many. The Mississippi Blues Trail marks these historic greats with a Blues Trail Marker in the artists’ Hometown of Laurel, MS!
Ra’Shad The Blues Kid is quickly adding his name to the long list of celebrities who came before him. His catalog that is sure to captivate include his rendition of “Ain't No Sunshine” and “Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin”. A few of his singles include “Singing the Blues”, “Juke”, “Bad Feeling”, and “Good Time”. These are just a few that won't quickly fade from your memory. His memorizing licks and soul-stirring melodies will have you wishing you had found him sooner. His music is truly a testament to his love of the Blues. He is currently competing for the International Blues Challenge in Memphis and has made it to the semi-finals round.
