This is a past event.
Son of Baton Rouge blues artist Rockin' Tabby Thomas, Chris Thomas King garnered mainstream attention for O Brother, Where Art Thou?, but his pedigree goes back further. In his teens, he toured Europe with his father, and in the '80s secured major-label backing for his eclectic blend of blues styles (gospel, Chicago, Delta, soul). Thomas attempted several times to explore a fascinating rap-and-blues hybrid in the early '90s, a project that basically went unreleased and sent him back into the arms of the blues. He has a honeyed voice and ranges easily through many blues styles with an oft-overlooked lyrical skill. —Chris Parker
