Heralded as “a living landmark” (Berkeley Express), “a national treasure” (Guitar Extra), and “one of the greatest living acoustic blues artists” (Blues Revue), Rory Block has been lighting up festival stages and blues clubs across the globe for years.

Handy Blues Music Awards for her work, including twice being named “Best Traditional Blues Female Artist” by The Blues Foundation.
