Be prepared to get your groove on as we welcome three-time Grammy award nominee and recent Grammy winner, Cedric Burnside, to the Spit 2 Da Beat Podcast. Lend an ear as Cedric bares his soul about his life, music career, and his monumental win for Best Traditional Blues Album in 2022. He’ll walk us through his musical journey, heavily influenced by his blues musician grandfather, RL Burnside, right from the house parties to the professional tours. You’ll hear about the evolution of his music, the trials faced along the way, and how he stayed authentic to his unique sound amidst criticism and pressure.
In a heart-tugging segment, Cedric takes us through his childhood, growing up with music flowing through his veins. He reminisces about his first professional tour at the tender age of 13 and how he juggled with grief and responsibility when his music guide, his grandfather, passed away. Discover how Cedric mastered the guitar to continue his family's legacy in music. Fasten your seatbelts as Cedric lifts the veil on his upcoming album "Hill Country Love," giving us a sneak peek with a solo performance.
