This is the first appearance of RL Boyce at the Big Blues Bender.
2018

From the part of the country where they still grow a lot of corn, cotton, and sweet potatoes, do a lot of killing hogs and still play music on the porch comes a true Blues All-Star. Always playing loose and free, this distinguished North Mississippi Hill Country Blues Master is well versed in making folks get up and shake their boogie. A disciple of the legendary Mississippi Fred McDowell, his musical improvisations are envisioned on the spot and in those particular moments, he'll take his audience to a higher hypnotic consciousness. As if you were setting off a pyrotechnics display when R.L. Boyce is ready to take command of the stage, he just lights the fuse, folks get the Hell Out the Way, and a show of Blue fire erupts, much to the delight of crowds worldwide.
