Ladell Mclin

Ladell McLin is a multifaceted artist who embraces in itself all of Afro American Roots music through the prism of his birthplace: the Blues.
Born in the South Side of Chicago, known as the birthplace of Chicago Blues, Ladell learned music very young and, among others, the blues influence throughout his career.
Close to the big names of Chicago Blues, Ladell began playing at the legendary club Buddy Guy's Legends with musicians like John Primer. Ladell later became the guitarist for artists like James "Blood" Ulmer. McLin in 2005 released his first studio album, "Stand out" working with Vernon Reid (Living Colour) and David Johansen (The New York Dolls).
Ladell has the ability to allow listeners to understand the influence of blues on all modern musical genres. So he navigates the traditional blues of Muddy Waters and Stevie Ray Vaughan to soaring rock of Jimi Hendrix, White Stripes or the Black Keys, while making forays into the soul or hip-hop, as evidenced by its collaboration with DMC .
This ability has not gone unnoticed by the French director, Michel Viotte that followed Ladell across the U.S. in his documentary, "On The Road From the Blues with Ladell McLin. This documentary, broadcast on France 5 in the show "Beautiful Escapes," shows the influence that blues has had on American culture by following Ladell on a musical journey from Chicago to New Orleans. This documentary was released on DVD in November 2010 Naïve / Eagle Vision.
In 2011, Ladell hopes to invest the European stage. It is already programmed for 2011 Festival Sons d'hiver in January, but the festival Avoine Zone Blues or famous Montreux Festival next summer.
