The Profile

American blues singer-guitarist famed for raw, stomping ‘hobo blues’, homemade instruments, and a late-2000s breakthrough. Known for gritty live sets and collaborations with figures like John Paul Jones and Jack White.

Plays DIY instruments (three‑string guitars, diddley bo) and stomps percussion on a box; gained wide attention with Dog House Music (2006); Hubcap Music features John Paul Jones and Jack White; released the double album Keepin’ The Horse Between Me And The Ground (2016) on There’s a Dead Skunk Records; frequently blends electric boogie, slide blues, and rootsy folk.

Three DeBaser reviews paint Seasick Steve as a raw, road-worn bluesman with a taste for slide, stomp, and DIY guitars. Dog House Music is praised for its street-corner electricity, Hubcap Music for its grit and big-name cameos, and Keepin’ The Horse Between Me And The Ground divides opinion—its second half venturing into folk covers. The artist’s mythmaking and an unauthorized biography loom in the background. Overall vibe: earthy, unvarnished, and stubbornly alive.
