Celebrated Bluesman To Perform At Festivals And Clubs In France, Germany And The Netherlands. Harrell To Make His UK Live Debut On November 19 In London.
With his gourmet phrasing and R and B hot sauce, D.K. Harrell is the blues hero you need in your life right now.
--Guitar World
With Talkin’ Heavy, D.K. Harrell doesn’t just arrive, he kicks the door open and walks through it like he was born for this. A guitarist with a preacher’s passion and a soul man’s voice, Harrell stakes his claim among the vanguard of the new blues generation.
--Blues Matters (UK)
Talkin’ Heavy is the joyous sound of a one-man revival. Harrell’s vocals are smooth yet forceful, and his authoritative guitar work hits the sweet spot every time.
--Guitar Player
D.K. Harrell is a remarkably gifted young bluesman. Powerful singing, excellent and original songwriting…he’s a genius storyteller. Talkin' Heavy is a stunning album.
--Blues and Rhythm (UK)
Louisiana-born blues phenomenon, guitarist, vocalist and songwriter D.K. Harrell has announced European and UK performance dates for the next leg of his 2025 Talkin' Heavy tour. Harrell will bring his irresistible, soul-drenched music to France, Germany and The Netherlands, and will make his very first appearance in the U.K. on November 19 in London. Harrell is celebrating the June 2025 release of his Alligator Records debut album, Talkin' Heavy, the record Living Blues calls "original and superbly fresh. It’s Harrell’s show…he is the real deal." France's Soul Bag says, "Harrell is captivating from start to finish."
D.K. Harrell is one of the true stars of the current blues resurgence. He sounds like no one else on the scene today. With his stinging, single-note string bending, deep soul vocals, and attention-grabbing original songs, the 27-year-old Harrell -- a major draw at blues festivals, concert halls and clubs around the world -- is already in a league of his own. With Talkin’ Heavy and with each unforgettable performance he delivers, D.K. Harrell cements his place among the leading voices of the new generation of blues players.
Talkin' Heavy continuously surprises with twelve wholly original songs filled with Harrell’s biting guitar work and authoritative, church-born vocals. Produced by studio wizard and musician Christoffer “Kid” Andersen and recorded at Andersen's now-famous Greaseland Studio, the album shows Harrell as a generational guitar talent with a wide-eyed vision and a street-smart singing style bringing to life the timeless songs he’s writing. Talkin' Heavy is an affirmation of the sheer power of modern blues.
According to Harrell, touring Europe is always a thrill. "Every country we have visited from Norway to Romania has always welcomed us with open arms and good food. Europe has the blues and I love sharing my blues with them. The people are beyond wonderful. Every visit and performance has felt like a perfect dream. So I am sure that when we return to Europe later this year and then make our debut in the United Kingdom, we will be welcomed again with open arms and love.”
Media worldwide seemingly cannot get enough of D.K. Harrell, who can be seen on the cover of the current issue of the esteemed German publication, Blues News. Talkin' Heavy is currently the #1 highest reviewed new release by the French Radio Collective, Des Radio Blues. The album also holds #1 on spot on both the Living Blues Radio Chart and the internationally recognized Big Blues Chart. Features, reviews and radio play continue to precede and follow Harrell everywhere he performs, from his main stage appearance at the June 2025 Chicago Blues Festival to his recent crowd-pleasing performances at the famous Notodden Blues Festival in Norway.
