Guitarist, singer, and songwriter Ladell Mclin.

Ladell has been described as an artist who possesses the ability to transcend the bounds of conventional music through his muse, the blues. Born on the South Side of Chicago, a notable center for the blues, Ladell discovered the music that would be profoundly influential in his life. He then worked to hone his seemingly natural talents on the guitar.

Nurtured by his musical family’s close ties to Chicago’s most notable and historic creators of the blues, Ladell began playing at Buddy Guy’s famed nightclub, Legends, with musicians such as John Primer, and Eddie Burks. Ladell then became a touring member of the James “Blood” Ulmer and Fernando Jones’ bands.

"Mizik Pou Dwa Moun" A Burnt Sugar Collective Compilation for the People of Ayiti

Moved by the tragic events that took place in Haiti on January 12, 2010, Ladell graciously donated a song, Voodoo for Peace, to the charitable efforts of The Burnt Sugar Collective. The entire 2-disc compilation album can be downloaded here for free.

Dedicated to those who lost their lives in the earthquake that devastated Haiti earlier this year, The Burnt Sugar Collective produced this amazing album in the hopes that people would donate to this worthy cause. Ladell, in collaboration with Swiss Chris (a member of The Burnt Sugar Collective) felt drawn to their efforts and felt gratified in being given the opportunity to participate in the project.

For all the French fans out there, be sure to tune in over the coming weeks to see more of Sur la route du Blues, avec Ladell McLin (On the Road to the Blues, with Ladell McLin), directed by Michel Voitte.
