“Blue Mesa” is an example of craftsmanship at the highest level.

Adept at mixing country, blues, R&B, rock ‘n’ roll, and folk influence, Winslow-King shapes a mood from many sources and shepherds it to a unifying place of acceptance and hope.

Born and raised in the Northern Michigan town of Cadillac, he moved to New Orleans at 19 and spent the next 15 years fully immersing himself in the musical waters that flow through there.

In 2013 he was nominated as best male performer by Offbeat Magazine, alongside Dr. John and Boutte.

Two years later, he won Gambit Magazine’s New Orleans Blues Artist of the year.

Now that he has moved on, it is the larger world, and the people and places in it, that enthralls him. From these travels and friendships comes a deeper and richer perspective on the American musical traditions.

From the first track, Winslow-King draws the listener into an expansive, dynamic world. Delicate touches of Paul Simon and Robert Cray color this paean to unconditional friendship and camaraderie. No matter where he goes, the current of New Orleans still tugs at Winslow-King’s music, though. The sweaty riffs of “Thought I Heard You” are as hot as the beer is cold, and the syncopated horns on “Chicken Dinner” are a big, playful flirtation. The psychedelic swamp boogie of “Leghorn Women” brims with charm, both suave and sinister, while the “Tom-Petty-on-the-levee” vibe of “Born to Roam” makes it a classic-in-the-making road trip anthem.
