Lloyd Whitley's life in the blues began in Louisiana, where nights without electricity meant no television - just music. At fourteen, he picked up his brother's abandoned acoustic guitar and taught himself to play. Sneaking into relatives' nightclubs, he listened from back rooms and kitchens as musicians like Slim Harpo and Lightnin' Slim played, shaping his ear and his style.Now based in Santa Cruz, Lloyd's guitar still carries that early grit and honesty - because for him, the blues is something you live and feel.
