You can find a great list of new & upcoming blues music releases for the end of March 2026 below. It is pretty exciting times for the contemporary blues! Four recordings were released last Friday including the much anticipated new Tedeschi Trucks album. And tomorrow (Friday March 27th) a whole slew of new albums will hit the market including Eliza Neals, Dana Fuchs, Neal Black & Healers, Selwyn Birchwood, and Robben Ford.
Several artists have announced albums in the coming months that are new to the list. A live recording of the Gregg Allman Band from 1986 should draw a lot of attention. There are also new works by Taj Mahal, Anni Piper, and Duane Betts on the way. And, sadly, the great British bluesman Snowy White has announced that he is releasing his final record this summer.
I hope you enjoy perusing the list…..some great new blues is on the way! And you should hear tracks from many of these albums as they become available to us in promotion or final release right here on Blues Music Fan Radio!!
