On Feb. 3, join us for a free show with the grandson of legendary blues man himself, R.L. Burnside. Cedric Burnside will be joined by Cody Burnside and Trento Ayers. Together, the three form a unique sound that is true to delta blues and with each note draws you closer into the music.

Cedric was born and raised in Holly Springs, Mississippi. At the young age of 13, he began touring around the world playing drums with his grandfather, North Mississippi blues legend R.L. Burnside, also known as "Big Daddy". In late 2006, Cedric and Lightin' Malcum teamed up and toured as The Juke Joint Duo which produced the award winning record, "Two Man Wrecking Crew." In 2010, Cedric collaborated with his younger brother, Cody Burnside, and his uncle, Garry Burnside, to create The Cedric Burnside Project. They have created a new genre of music by infusing Mississippi Hill Country Blues, Funk, R&B and Soul that will keep your foot stomping all night long! The group performed and recorded with: R.L. Burnside, Burnside Exploration, Bobby Rush, Jimmy Buffett, T Model Ford, Bobby Rush, Honey Boy Edwards, North Mississippi Allstars, Galactic, Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears, Widespread Panic and John Spencer Blues Exploration

Cody's raps are always percussive, funky and entertaining. He can freestyle with the best of them, and is constantly writing new deep and unique lyrics. His flows can be uplifting, thoughtful, sexy, dramatic or down right funny. The blend of hill country blues and rap might surprise some people, but it is actually a natural combination that reflects the reality of where this music comes from. He's performed and recorded with: R. L. Burnside, North Mississippi All-stars, Widespread Panic, Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears, Dwayne Burnside and Luther Dickinson
