28. Keb’ Mo’

Kevin Roosevelt Moore was born in 1951 in Los Angeles, but changed his name to Keb’ Mo’ when he started playing the blues. He’s played with papa John Creach, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Lyle Lovett and Kermit the Frog. But it’s his partnering with Taj Mahal that earned him his most recent Grammy Award, and this year he’s up for Best Acoustic Artist at the Blues Music Awards.
