Reed Turchi: WORLD ON FIRE Album Release live at Rosa's Lounge

Hailed by the Oxford American as an artist “beyond genre constraints, Reed Turchi is a GRAMMY Award Winning, EMMY Award Nominated musician from Swannanoa, North Carolina, who first learned to play guitar in North Mississippi from RL Burnside's longtime sideman Kenny Brown.

Turchi's signature "slide guitar & kudzu boogie" sound has been described as "a burst of blues rock…both spontaneous and crafted" by Rolling Stone and as "vital, live, and essential" by Living Blues Magazine. WORLD ON FIRE, Turchi's latest album, was declared "a striking exercise in inspired simplicity" by No Depression, and explored a more intimate atmosphere, somewhere between Muddy Waters' "Folk Singer” acoustic album and Bruce Springsteen's "Nebraska." American Blues Scene hailed the album as "a hypnotic blend of slide-guitar and snare-brush rhythm," while Pop Matters said listening to it is “like listening to an old 78rpm blues recording without the scratches and static."
