Given that I play guitar, I’ve always had an interest in various blues artists and bands. My early days of playing had a heavy focus on classic rock and blues artists such as Freddie King, B.B. King, Robert Johnson, and countless others.

Although blues isn’t as popular as it once was during the 20th century, it still has a strong niche of an audience attached to it. When concerts finally come back, notable blues artists will continue to perform in front of massive crowds while releasing an abundance of music along the way. 

Blues is still great and it’s important to list great modern blues artists and bands. Keep in mind, there are countless blues artists today, these are just a few of my favorites.
