RODD BLAND "MY FATHER'S SON" | EPISODE CLXXXV

Blues bloodlines don’t come any stronger or run any truer than those of Rodd Bland. As the son of immortal singer Bobby “Blue” Bland, Rodd was destined to follow in his father’s footsteps—though not from behind a microphone. Instead, Rodd regally sits behind a drum kit, supplying a propulsive beat that powers so many bands in and around Memphis. Rodd began playing with his father at the age of five years old. His new EP, Live on Beale Street: A Tribute to Bobby "Blue" Bland, is giving Rodd a chance to reintroduce his father's legacy to the world as he shares his remarkable gift. As you take a listen to Rodd's journey, he shares that Memphis is 'UNDENIABLE" in its sound and culture.
