Gospel Blues Phenom LEO BUD WELCH Leads An
Old Fashioned Blues Revival
On His New Concert CD/DVD LIVE AT THE
IRIDIUM!
Los Angeles, CA -
He’s 85 years young and just getting started! Mississippi bluesman Leo Bud
Welch has been playing and preaching real deal gospel blues music since he
first picked up a guitar in 1945, but he remained on the outskirts of the
profession music industry known only to friends, family, and a handful of elder
blues statesmen. That is, until Welch signed his very first recording contract
at the ripe old age of 81! It’s a remarkable story that is now the subject of a
full-length documentary film called Late Blossom Blues currently
screening at film festivals around the world.
Since the release
of his debut album Saboulga Voices in 2014 and the follow-up I Don’t
Prefer No Blues in 2015, Welch has completely taken the blues world by
storm, and now he offers his very first live concert album recorded at NY’s
prestigious club The Iridium! Live At The Iridium takes audiences on a
journey through 6+ decades of blues music as Welch performs a mix of
traditional songs, standards, and Welch’s own compositions highlighted by
“Praise His Name,” “Got My Mojo Working,” “Don’t Let The Devil Ride,” “Good
Morning, Little School Girl” and more! The DVD portion was directed by veteran
documentary filmmaker Wes Orshoski, creator of feature length films on UK punk
legends The Damned and the late great Lemmy of Motörhead, and includes bonus
interviews and a video biography of Welch.
