Blues artist Cedric Burnside will bring his heartfelt sound to San Antonio this weekend

Grammy-winning blues musician Cedric Burnside — known for mixing gritty North Mississippi blues with contemporary influences including soul and hip-hop — will perform this Saturday at the Carver Community Cultural Center's Jo Long Theatre. The son of blues drummer Calvin Jackson and the grandson of singer-guitarist R.L. Burnside, the the younger Burnside began touring as a drummer in his teens and has performed with artists ranging from Jessie Mae Hemphill and T-Model Ford to Widespread Panic and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. He also learned from revered bluesman Junior Kimbrough, a family friend.
