Although he has been playing around the area for 30 years now, it wasn’t until 2023 that Louisville blues legend Tyrone Cotton released his debut album Man Like Me. And quite frankly, it is a masterpiece! Easily one of the greatest records ever to come out of Louisville, Man Like Me is absolutely essential listening. His lyrics are a deeply personal reflection of his own experiences, exploring connection, loss, hope and resurrection, punctuated by a voice that is hauntingly evocative yet equally warm and alluring, backed by his original compositions that embody a vast landscape of soul, folk, blues, jazz, and rock. And you’ll be able to catch the man himself live backed by his band on Valentine’s weekend for what is certain to be an incredible night of music.
