Layla Musselwhite is a New Orleans-based singer songwriter and slide guitarist who draws on a rich musical legacy via her father, blues legend Charlie Musselwhite. Charlie is Layla’s guitar teacher, instructing her in the deepest rhythms of the roots of the blues. Layla grew up on the road steeped in the music of the greatest artists of our time including Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, & John Lee Hooker.  While her original music spans blues, soul, folk, and country, the touchstone is always the same - a deep understanding and respect for the rhythms and melodies at the heart of the blues.
