Tito's Tent

Thoughts:   This dude is legit.  Thirty-five years old, but sounds like he could have been born 100 years ago to sling the guitar blues through the South.  His Wikipedia bio is extremely limited - born in Kansas (no mention of the town), from Kentucky (no mention of the town), diagnosed in 2025 with sarcoma which had surrounded his heart and pulmonary artery.  That is it.  Two K states, one big C.

His dad was stationed in Korea while in the Army, and met his mother there.  Which is part of the reason for his 2023 album being named Yellow Peril, was him being pissed off that racist dopes might "just coldcock my mom while she's getting groceries of something like that."  I know this is bad, but I had sort of forgotten about all of those assholes attacking Asian folks after COVID. That sucked though.

His first music was released just after COVID, with singles starting in 2021 until his 2023 disc Yellow Peril.  No other discs available on Spotify, just more singles after that.  And it is pretty solid steel guitar picking and old-soul raspy-voiced singing in here.  I have been digging it.  Just one song with more than a million streams - from that sole album.  "Duck N' Dodge." 1.3 million streams.

To me, that easily could be a 50 year old song sung by a road-weary blues mastermind.  Can barely understand the words. I also notice, on the cover of that YouTube image, that this comes from Easy Eye Sound, which is the Dan Auerbach label (Black Keys guy) and so it makes more sense that this has been found for this poster.  That guy's label must have an in with C3 (even if the Keys barely ever play here anymore) because it seems like a few of their young up-and-comers are always on this poster.

Instead of another song from that disc, how about a 2026 single.  This is "God Don't Like It" with 44k streams.

Oh man, looks like he lost all of his hair and eyebrows.  That is wild.  It is also wild to hear that very young-looking dude rasping out those words.  He's kind of badass!  I am officially on team Nat.
