An evening of Blues by Lloyd Whitley

Join us for an unforgettable evening of soulful blues with Santa Cruz’s own Lloyd Whitley. A longtime local and seasoned bluesman, Lloyd’s journey started back in Louisiana, where nights without electricity meant no TV—just music. At fourteen, he picked up his brother’s forgotten acoustic guitar, and the blues took hold. Sneaking into his relatives’ nightclubs, he soaked in the sounds of legends like Slim Harpo and Lightnin' Slim, shaping his raw and unfiltered style. Over the years, Lloyd has stayed true to his music, never letting anyone change the way he plays. His guitar speaks with grit, passion, and authenticity—because for Lloyd, the blues isn’t just music, it’s who he is. Don’t miss the chance to hear him live, right here at the winery!
