New Orleans based artist Sonny Gullage, whose new album ‘Go Be Free’ is out 8/23 on Blind Pig records. With a musical heritage tracing back to Lead Belly, Sonny’s debut is a vibrant celebration of new blues, featuring a guest appearance by Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram, who like Sonny, is 25-years-old. Here are the first two singles, a recent performance, and a recent interview with WBGO, who said "The blues are alive and well…It’s artists like Sonny Gullage that are carrying the torch." At just 25, Sonny Gullage has crafted a debut that reflects a lifetime immersed in the richness of blues and gospel, influenced deeply by his New Orleans roots and a family steeped in musical tradition. Born with what you might call “blues wisdom,” a mixture of empathy, sensitivity, and keen observational foresight, Sonny has always been an old soul, but he brings a fresh perspective to the blues. His national emergence on American Idol catapulted him into the spotlight, and he's since enthralled global audiences with his formidable voice, masterful keyboard skills, and a refined, engaging style.
