Rory Block has committed her life and her career to preserving the Delta blues tradition and bringing it to life for 21st century audiences around the world. The New York Times declared: “Her playing is perfect, her singing otherworldly as she wrestles with ghosts, shadows, and legends.”

Her early life was touched — and profoundly changed — by personal encounters with some of the earliest and most influential Delta blues masters of the 20th century. Today, after more than twenty highly acclaimed releases and five Blues Music Awards, Block is at the absolute height of her creative powers, bringing a world full of life lessons to bear on what she calls “a total celebration of my beloved instrument and best friend, the guitar.”
