Presented by The Idaho Blues Society. This IBS show was supported in part by a Touring Artist grant from CREATIVE WEST and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Young Salt Lake City-based musician J-Rad Cooley is a singer/songwriter, piano player and harmonica player, a unique storyteller with a distinct sense of blues, melody and groove. His soulful songs show his diverse influences from Lightnin’ Hopkins to Ray Charles to The Band, some with a New Orleans twist or a distinct ragtime flavor.
