Blues guitarist Jarekus Singleton will blow you away with his alternating soulful and blazing guitar licks. He and his two cousins, Chancellor Cain on keyboard and Ben Sterling on bass have been playing Gospel together for years in their grandfather’s Jarekus Singletonchurch in Jackson, Mississippi. Adding Frank White on drums, the band is tight and plays like seasoned blues musicians steeped in Mississippi Blues. The surprise in hearing them comes when you realize they are all under the age of 30!
Andre Russell, the senior member of the group and background vocalist, rounds out the high energy blues show that makes people get on their feet and dance. Jarekus has acquired an ardent fan base made up of old and young fans alike who follow him and rave about his awesome guitar talent and unique style.
Jarekus and his band perform regularly around the Central Mississippi area. He performed at the Chicago Blues Festival in 2009, 2010, & 2011. He and his band competed in the 2010 International Blues Challenge in Memphis and came away with rave reviews and a new set of national and international fans. He was nominated as Blues Artist of the Year for the 2010 Jackson Music Awards.
Jarekus has already performed with well known musicians such as Omar Cunningham, Grady Champion and others. Jarekus “plays what he feels” and that feeling is what he wants to come out of his guitar, his music and his band.
