Cedric Burnside

Cedric Burnside brings his “rhythmically unorthodox” brand of Blues back to Australia in March 2020.

Love Police are delighted to announce Cedric Burnside will return to Australia in March 2020 for a 15 date national tour and will play shows in NSW, Victoria, ACT, South Australia, Northen Territory, Queensland, Western Australia and Tasmania.

The Grammy-nominated 39-year-old still lives on several acres not far from the Holly Springs, Mississippi, home where he was raised by “Big Daddy,” his grandfather, the late singer/songwriter/guitarist R.L. Burnside whom Cedric famously played with, just as his own father, drummer Calvin Jackson, did. Cedric was literally born to the blues, more specifically, the “rhythmically unorthodox” Hill country variant which emerged from Mississippi, where he grew up surrounded (and influenced) by Junior Kimbrough, Jessie May Hemphill and Otha Turner, as well as delta musicians T-Model Ford and Paul “Wine” Jones.
