Sheryl Youngblood
Legendary blues singer Sheryl Youngblood loves to have a good time and it was just like that during Mahindra Blues Festival in 2024 where she got the audience grooving while trying to make them forget their troubles and party while singing and dancing along to her music.
Starting her career over three decades ago, the singer who started the Sheryl Youngblood Band over a decade ago, has been among many American blues female singers to make her mark over the years. It is why she believes, “music festivals and the arts and entertainment should embrace women artistry of music around the world. She explains, “There should be more female-based events and then have unified – both female and male events, and let us work together more often and that will bring a whole collective synergy to the music because we can all do this together.”
