Delta Rhythm Kings Tickets

The Delta Rhythm Kings (DRK) are a cornerstone of the Delta blues lineage, formed in 1980 by legendary guitarist and producer Roy Rogers. With a rotating yet tight-knit lineup, including longtime collaborators Steve Ehrmann and Kevin Hayes, DRK continues to fuse classic Delta blues with modern blues-rock energy. Known for masterful slide guitar, soulful vocals, and a reputation for electrifying live performances, DRK remains a trusted name for fans who want authentic blues with a modern edge.

Roy Rogers has a storied career beyond DRK: he produced John Lee Hooker’s acclaimed album The Healer (1989), which earned the Grammy for Best Traditional Blues Performance for the track I’m in the Mood. This long-standing producer-musician partnership informs DRK’s approach—rooted in tradition but fearless in exploration.

For fans seeking reliable bookings and memorable blues experiences, Delta Rhythm Kings offer a straightforward, no-fuss path to great live shows and studio-quality releases. We’ve got you covered with current tour info, discography highlights, and official social links for updates.
