Feel the energy of Solomon Hicks, the 29-year-old guitar sensation, labeled a “guitarist to watch” by WXPN. A prodigy since picking up the guitar at age six, Hicks blends blues, jazz, and rock with soulful vocals and jaw-dropping technique. His debut album Harlem, produced by Grammy-winner Kirk Yano, earned him the 2021 Blues Music Award for Best Emerging Artist. He’s shared the stage with icons like Jeff Beck, Ringo Starr, and Mavis Staples, wowing audiences around the world with his electrifying performances. A favorite at Caramoor’s 2024 American Roots Music Festival, this rising star returns to breathe new life into classic sounds in our Music Room.
