An acoustic blues duo pairing guitar and harmonica with a guided journey through the genre’s roots.
Cotton Roots are an acoustic duo devoted to rural blues and the sound of the Delta. The line-up pairs singer and guitarist Johnny Big Stone with singer and harmonica player Little Jordi. Both teach at the Escola-Taller de Blues de Barcelona, and Little Jordi was a founding member of the Societat de Blues de Barcelona.
The live set brings music together with a guided account of blues history. Moving through different periods, locations and playing approaches, the duo also demonstrates how the instruments were used around a century ago. It offers a concert format with an educational element for audiences keen to learn more about the genre.
Their playing draws on Delta blues and Piedmont blues, with guitar, harmonica, strong bass lines and syncopated rhythms. The sound is rooted in tradition while leaving room for imaginative playing. Their album Freight Train features 14 pieces from these styles. Their influences include Son House, Skip James, Blind Blake, Mississippi John Hurt and Robert Johnson.
This set works well for parties, music programmes, cultural events and private gatherings looking for acoustic blues with historical context. Depending on the venue, the duo can bring its own full sound equipment.
