GRAMMY-nominated and a National Heritage Fellowship honoree Cedric Burnside is a 3rd-generation Blues Man: son of Blues drummer Calvin Jackson and raised in the Mississippi home of his blues singer/guitarist grandfather, R. L. Burnside. Proudly carrying the mantle of Mississippi Hill Country Blues around the world, Burnside’s songs deliver bruised but unfettered truth.
