Keb' Mo' is a three-time Grammy-winner who is referred to as the "living link" to the Delta Blues of the early 1930s which helped influence much of today's blues music. He keeps his sound contemporary with touches of soul and folksy storytelling. His acoustic-led, basic-to-basics style of blues has gained him many fans. As well as being an accomplished guitarist, Keb' Mo' also plays the banjo, harmonica, steel drums and keyboard.

The frontman of his self-named band, rock artist and producer Ben Folds continues to work with some of the most eclectic names in music and entertainment (remember his Common People cover that featured William Shatner and Bill Clinton?), as well as pushing the envelope on alt-rock ever further. A self-confessed enigma, he prefers to stay out of the limelight except when touring, but can easily claim credit for some of music's most unlikely trends.
