Kent DuChaine’s ability to immerse his audience into his world,his life; his heart is unrivalled. His superb musicianship, storytellin self deprecating humour is why he is loved the world over.

Blues music itself. DuChaine plays an 84 year old “National Steel” guitar kitted out with extra heavy gauge strings to be able to cope with his powerful playing style.
In 2015 Kent was honoured to be asked by Ben “Boogie” Waters to play in a tribute concert to B B King in central London with music Legends Bill Wyman, Elliott Randall &many other luminaries.
