Bluesman Corey Harris has led the life of a musical explorer, traveling and listening all over the world. As the star of Martin Scorsese's segment of the PBS series The Blues, Corey Traveled to Mali to play with Ali Farka Toure, a voyage he repeated for his album of field recordings called Mississippi to Mali, in which he explored connections between African music and the blues. He's performed at many of the world's most prestigious venues, including the Montreux Jazz Festival, London's Royal Albert Hall, New York's Lincoln Center, Washington D.C.'s Kennedy Center, Nashville's Ryman Auditorium and Tennessee's Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival.

His musical journey continues with his latest album, Daily Bread, released this summer. With this album he's created a multi-dimensional sound that embraces many black musical forms, including African finger-style guitar, Carribbean rhythms, and, of course, the American blues.
