Louisiana-born blues man D.K. Harrell will celebrate the release of his Alligator Records debut album with a performance in Phoenix.<\/p>\n

Already a draw at blues festivals around the world, the 27-year-old singer and guitarist will appear at the Musical Instrument Museum on Friday, Jan. 30. Harrell\u2019s new album, \u201cTalkin\u2019 Heavy,\u201d is out now.<\/p>\n

Harrell was born D\u2019Kieran Harrell in Ruston, Louisiana, in 1998. He first heard B.B. King at age 2 and responded by singing along, then he sang in his church choir as a boy while continuing to be drawn to the blues.<\/p>\n

Harrell’s first paying gig was as an invited guest to the B.B. King Symposium in Indianola, Mississippi, where he played \u201cThe Thrill Is Gone\u201d on King\u2019s iconic guitar, \u201cLucille,\u201d backed by members of King\u2019s touring band.<\/p>\n

In 2022, Harrell won the B.B. King Of The Blues Award for Preserving Traditional Blues Heritage from the Jus’ Blues Music Foundation.<\/p>\n
