“...his superb guitar work combined with a great Blues voice, kept the capacity crowd dancing and having a great time until the wee hours. You definitely need to put Cannonball Red on your radar.”

Cannonball Red & The Head Hunters
bio
A Blues brother with soul running through his veins, Red is a passionate artist trailblazing through life on his own path to success. Originally From Douglasville, GA , Red’s true origin story lies in the Gospel music ringing through Calvary Baptist Church in rural Madison, GA. Adept and inherently talented from a young age, music was a cornerstone of his childhood. In his early teenage years he discovered the world of Blues and was instantly infatuated.
Red draws his inspiration from the greatness of guitarists like Lightnin’ Hopkins and Luther “Georgia Boy” Johnson, as well as pianists like Otis Spann and Ray Charles. Combining their vintage sound with a modern flare and his smoky voice, Red and his stellar band known as the Head Hunters bring you soul, grit and a little bit of fire to give a taste of what it feels like to be at the mercy of the Cannonball.
