As the summer kicks into high gear, I wanted to share some new blues rock and roots tunes that you must hear. Some artists you may know, and others you may not. I think pretty highly of these artists and most feature tunes from new or upcoming releases. Have a listen, check them out, and share your thoughts in the comments section below.
One or two of these were shared by our followers (thank you), and a couple more were shared by our musically savvy members in our Rock and Blues Muse Group on Facebook. Thank you to the members who shared some of these great artists. And while I’m at it, if you want to discover some great music, check out our group here. We have some of the nicest people who are very knowledgeable about music. It’s a fun place to hang out and discover, share and discuss great music with friends who love this kind of music as much as you do. Real music with real musicians.
Since my first article, “50 Modern Blues Rock Soul Artists You Must Hear 2019” see link here, I wrote a follow-up article, “YOUR Additions to 50 Modern Blues Rock Soul Artists You Must Hear 2019″ see link here.
My newest article “Blues Rock and Roots Tunes You Must Hear July 2019” is just about some new tunes I think you might enjoy and each of them is performed by an outstanding musician or band. Since it’s July and a holiday is coming up, you might enjoy diving into some of these while you fire up your barbecues. I labeled each one to give you a rough guide about the genres of music each fits into.
Discovering new music and artists is fun. I hope you enjoy these tunes as much as I do.
Enjoy. Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

Nut,
Thank you for your lovely comment. I’m so glad you’re enjoying the music.
I LOVE Lynne Jackaman’s “SuperNasty”…so funky…now listening to the The Texas Horns and they are awesome too. This is a music list you can take to the beach!!! Thanks for compiling it, Martine!
Beth,
That’s awesome you love Lynne Jackaman and The Texas Horns. They both are so so good. You’re so welcome. Thanks for commenting.
A great summertime playlist. There are a few names on the list I’m not familiar with, but I will check out their music. I’m really pleased to see rising artists like Lynne Jackaman included too. What a remarkably talented singer/songwriter she is.
Lynne Jackaman has all the qualities to be a Superstar! Her EP Supernasty hasn’t a bad track on it. The title track is brilliant but I don’t want to just single that track out as the others are excellent too. Suffice it to say I’m a huge fan.
