Jovin Webb
Hailing from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Jovin Webb grew up surrounded by the blues from his father’s record collection and gospel from the Southern Baptist church. His breakthrough came in an unexpected place: on national television, on American Idol. With a stunning rendition of Whipping Post, he showed the country what his hometown had long known: Webb doesn’t just sing the blues — he is the blues. A recording contract with the renowned Blind Pig Records was inevitable.
His debut album Drifter is best described as a Louisiana gumbo of blues, gospel, and rock ’n’ roll. Across twelve tracks that swing between tenderness and fury, he preaches about love, loss, and redemption. His harmonica growls and wails, while his voice is raw, weathered, and gritty. Brace yourselves when this man steps on stage!
