Ryan Lee Crosby is a singer, guitarist, and songwriter whose music bridges generations through the deep-rooted language of the blues. Drawing from the haunting Bentonia style, Crosby’s sound blends entancing rhythms, dynamic vocals, hypnotic guitar and raw emotional honesty. His approach is grounded in apprenticeship and real relationships with blues elders, including Grammy-nominated artist Jimmy “Duck” Holmes, who is the last living link to the Bentonia tradition and a longtime mentor.
Crosby’s upcoming album, "At the Blue Front," was recorded live at Mississippi’s historic Blue Front Cafe—the oldest juke joint still in operation. The sessions were highly improvised and captured on reel-to-reel tape, creating a spontaneous and reverent atmosphere. With contributions from Holmes, percussionist Grant Smith, and harmonica player Jay Scheffler, the album honors tradition while breathing new life into it.
More than just a style, blues for Crosby is a way of being—a spiritual and meditative practice rooted in sincerity, presence, and connection. His music invites listeners to slow down, tune in, and feel what's true.
