Preacher Boy mines the dark edges of Contemporary Blues and Americana with his signature raspy voice, virtuoso National slide guitar playing, and richly poetic lyrics.
From his genre-bending debut on Blind Pig Records to Ghost Notes, his new album on Coast Road Records, this relentlessly pioneering artist continues to both honor and extend the country blues traditions that inspire him.
Of hIs boot-pounding live performances, The Good Times had this to say: “As he beats his long leather boot, four to the floor, his National steel guitar slides and spits a devious storm of gothic Americana and gritty country blues.” Melody Maker described his sound as: “Country blues that marry Nick Cave, Robert Johnson, Woody Guthrie and Tom Waits,” and legendary music publication MOJO declared that, “Preacher Boy is a songwriter of startling originality.”
