Kirk Fletcher

Saturday 4 April

Los Angeles-born and Nashville-based singer and guitarist Kirk Fletcher built a foundation for the blues in the church where his father was a pastor and he started playing guitar. Through fortunate encounters with blues musicians he built a strong network and eventually wound up touring as a guitarist in Kim Wilson’s Blues Revue; he later played with well-known blues bands and artists such as Wilson’s band The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Charlie Musselwhite, Doyle Bramhall, The Mannish Boys and Joe Bonamassa. Apart from all that Fletcher also released his own records; his latest, Keep On Pushing, was released in 2025.
