Deep Roots 2025 Fall Series – Ray Cashman @ Backdraft
Some folks play the blues while some write about it and present it as their own because it is. Ray Cashman is the latter. This guy is the real deal. His songs are on the radio around the world and his European show date list alone would be the envy of anybody looking to expand internationally. Growing up on the upper Texas coast, his music is referred to as gulf coast gumbo as it is made up of multiple regional influences both current and from the past. Cashman has had his music featured in film and television, and his 2007 release, Texassippi Stomp, was widely praised and landed on several ‘best of’ lists for blues recordings. Cashman has toured extensively in Europe and the UK and in the USA from the Gulf Coast to Canada. Cashman has performed at such notable festivals as SXSW- TX, King Biscuit Blues Festival – AR, Juke Joint Festival-MS, Lucca Blues Festival- IT, Deep Blues Festival-MS. He has released 9 studio albums with the latest being 2023 Delta Sound. After living for over 20 years in music cities such as Austin and Nashville, Cashman resides in Clarksdale, Mississippi.
