Cedric Burnside: Singer-Songwriter in New York

About Cedric Burnside

Cedric Burnside is a rock and pop performer whose work often carries a blues undercurrent, shaped through years of playing in band settings and on shared bills. In New York City, he appears at Brooklyn Bowl, including the December 21, 2025 program led by Samantha Fish, alongside Jon Spencer. Burnside tends to keep his performances direct and rhythm-forward, favoring groove and phrasing over polish. His role in these lineups is that of a grounding presence, helping steer the night toward roots-based tension and release.
