Blues at the Crossroads: The Robert Johnson Centennial Concert featuring Big Head Todd & The Monsters, David “Honeyboy” Edwards, Hubert Sumlin, Cedric Burnside & Lightnin’ Malcolm

“We all owed our existence [to Robert Johnson] in some way.” – Robert Plant

“The most important blues singer that ever lived.” – Eric Clapton

Straight from the heart of the back country, Blues at the Crossroads picks up at the very intersection where, as legend has it, Delta blues musician Robert Johnson made a deal with the devil, giving up his soul to write the most incredible blues the world had ever heard. The concert features Grammy®-winning blues legend David “Honeyboy” Edwards, who was playing with Johnson the night of his untimely death; rockers Big Head Todd & The Monsters; and more.
