After winning the 2025 Atlanta Blues Challenge, he presents Grateful Blues in full, as heard on Grateful Dead XM, honoring Jerry Garcia. Ranked among the top ten acoustic blues albums of 2025, it salutes the meeting place of traditional blues and psychedelic Americana.

The Brook & The Bluff bring their Werewolf tour to the stage with a sound shaped by the electricity of their live show.
