About This Event
How does a 18-year-old kid raised in Vicksburg, Mississippi play his first gig in Chicago and wind up with 165,000 views and 4,000 shares of his performance on Facebook? A dexterous and inventive guitarist and a fat-toned harmonica phenom, Young Rell is already a commanding vocalist and a poetic and poignant songwriter. As a child, Rell navigated personal struggles and trauma by immersing himself in music that was born in response to oppression and hardship.
His community building and graceful social interaction have landed him relationships and experiences with the greatest blues artists alive today. He has been championed by Billy Branch, Kingfish Ingram, Bob Margolin, Bernard Allison and many others. He has already performed at the Notodden Blues Festival, King Biscuit Blues Festival, both of Morgan Freemans Ground Zero Blues Clubs in Mississippi, Reds Juke Joint in Clarksdale, and many more.
