Few artists could be said to transcend, yet include, the most raw and real elements of Delta blues, roots rock, folk, funk and rap would be no small feat. Nevertheless—with bone-deep authenticity—that’s exactly what Bret Mosley does, wrestling deftly with longing, belonging, and world-weariness...on the way home to hope and grace. Mosley’s signature idiosyncratic intensity and intelligence, traverses a geography where the heart of the matter is just that...the heart IS the matter at hand—driven by the gritty, funky pulse of his slide dobro and stomping foot. Touring tirelessly since his December 2007 release, Light & Blood, he has shared the stage with Jerry Joseph, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Jackie Greene, Kaki King, Kelly Joe Phelps, among others—with the music press drawing comparisons to Chris Whitley, Steve Earle, Van Morrison, Keller Williams, Ben Harper, Taj Mahal and Beck.
