Jhett Black

Foot stomping rhythms and raucous slide guitar interweave with soulful gospel roots and balladry. The Southern Gothic sound of Jhett Black draws from years of experience on the road with underground folk rock band, Gleewood, and his passion for American roots music.

Somewhere between teaching himself slide guitar behind the chicken coop of a New Mexico ranch house and an endless sea of dive bars, the blues found their way into the young man’s heart and pours back out with the passionate performance of an older soul.

Jhett won 2nd place at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN, 2022, in the solo/duo category. His self-produced EP, Roots, landed on the Roots Music Report Blues Charts as #1 for four weeks and in the top 10 for over twenty weeks. His debut blues rock album, Babel, received acclaim across the blues scene internationally landing on the Big Blues Charts and the Roots Music Report Blues Charts in the #10 for twelve weeks.

The internationally received songwriter draws from deep sources such as Lead Belly and Howlin’ Wolf, while illustrating ballads with lyrical nods to storytellers like Johnny Cash, and Nick Cave.
