Some folks here may be interested in this website that alphabetically lists Blues artists by their last name or the last name of their group & also mentions their geographical home base:

I happened upon that website when I went searching for information about young Blues singers. That search was prompted by this Mudcat thread on young folk singers: thread.cfm?threadid=112157&messages=4 Young, gifted and feet on the ground.

In my next two posts to this thread I'll list some examples of Blues artists who are based outside of the USA. I'll be excerpting names from the L/Q section of that website as it was the page that Google listed in my search for young Blues singers. I'll only provide a link to the page that contains the names and not a hyperlink of the individual names themselves. However, the editor of that page does provide hyperlinks to each artist/group listed, so it's a much better resource for folks who want to hear an example of the artist or find out more information about each individual artist or band.

While I'm particularly curious about the state of Blues music and the indentification of young, middle age, and older Blues artists outside of the USA, I'm also interested [and hopefully, other readers of this thread may be interested] in that same information as it pertains to the USA. Please join me in this presentation of information about Blues artists of any age both within and outside of the USA.

Hopefully, this thread will also be a place to share your experiences as a Blues artist, or your experience with Blues artists of any age within the USA and outside of the USA. Again, I'm most interested in your thoughts about the "state of Blues music" meaning is it well, is it fading, is it reviving & changing, and if so, how is it changing, and why.

And btw, links to YouTube videos of Blues artists would be a great addition to this thread.

Thanks, in advance, for posting on this thread!
