Get ready for an electrifying night of authentic Louisiana swamp blues as Kenny Neal takes the stage at Arts Bonita! A Grammy-nominated artist and multiple Blues Music Award winner, Kenny Neal is a true torchbearer of the blues, blending deep-rooted tradition with contemporary fire.

Born into a musical dynasty, Neal was handed his first harmonica by Slim Harpo at just three years old, and by 17, he was playing bass for the legendary Buddy Guy. His decades-spanning career has seen him grace Broadway in Mulebone, release critically acclaimed albums, and collaborate with icons like Christone “Kingfish” Ingram and Tito Jackson.

With his Big 7-Piece Band, Kenny delivers a high-energy performance that transports you straight to the heart of Baton Rouge. Whether he’s wailing on the harmonica, shredding on guitar, or pouring his soul into every note, Neal’s music is a living, breathing celebration of the blues.

Don’t miss your chance to witness one of the strongest modern voices in blues and roots music—live, raw, and straight from the heart. Laissez les bons temps rouler!
