DK Harrell Livestream from Jimmy's Jazz and Blues Club

On March 6, 2026 at Jimmy’s Jazz & Blues Club in Portsmouth, D.K. Harrell brings a modern take on electric blues shaped by deep roots and a singer’s sense of phrasing. A Blues Music Award winner and a key voice of the new wave, he cuts through with stinging single‑note bends, clean lines and a tone that leaves space for his warm, soul‑leaning vocals. Harrell writes songs that look straight at everyday life, favoring slow and medium grooves where the guitar answers the voice like a second narrator.

Raised on the legacy of B.B. King and the 1950s‑60s blues, he keeps the tradition close while pushing it forward with original material. After introducing himself on The Right Man in 2023, he steps up again with his Alligator Records debut Talkin’ Heavy. Expect a set that threads new cuts from that record with earlier tunes and a few reworked standards, played with tight dynamics and a band feel that lets the melodies breathe. It’s blues with a clear point of view: direct, melodic, and built for the stage at Jimmy’s, where Harrell’s guitar, voice and stories meet in real time.
