Can anyone recommend some modern blues artists?

[Evan_R]

Preferably electric. I need some new music and I'm graving some great blues but I don't know where to turn to. Recommendations please!

No, seriously.

Yeah, cuz they are terrible guitarists. Jealous much?

No mention if JD Simo yet? Wow.

If you get to New York City, go and see Michael Powers and SaRon Crenshaw at Terra Blues.

Take a browse on Alligator Records and see what you might like.

If you like slide, check out Lil Ed Williams

This is not to mention some of the obvious choices. I am just not personally a fan of all of the SRV offspring that litter the land these days.

Here in the UK we have the fantastic Nimmo Brothers.

Not really. I'm actually John Mayer's... Let's say... Number #1 fan! I got into guitar playing and blues pretty much due to him.

I laughed only because I realized mentioning those two here in TGP is a pretty sure way to get flamed, as they seem to be the most hated guitarists around here...
