For nearly 50 years, Kent DuChaine has lived the life of a traveling bluesman. He first picked up guitar as a teenager in the mid-’60s back in his home state of Minnesota. After the British Invasion helped to repopularize many of the traditional blues players in the states, Kent was fortunate to jam with and learn from the likes of Muddy Waters, Bukka White, Howlin’ Wolf, and Lazy Bill Lucas, among others. In 1977, after nearly a decade of searching, Kent found a 1934 National Duolian steel guitar that he named “LeadBessie.”
