Kent Burnside was born in Memphis Tennessee, and spent his early years in Holly Springs, Mississippi. Kent is the oldest Grandson and one of the closest pupils of the legendary Bluesman R.L. Burnside.
Kent got his real start in the music business playing with Jimbo Mathus (Fat Possum Records), and going on tour with Buddy Guy in the early 2000's. That was when he started developing his signature style of blues: dark, hypnotic, inviting and very danceable.
Kent has spent decades performing at festivals and has toured all over the world. Most recently in 2019 he performed at the Blues Rules Festival in Switzerland, and played a two week tour in Australia.
