SOUTHERN GOTHIC . ONE-MAN-BAND
Lincoln Durham
Stomp.
Slide. Howl.
Like a relentless freight train bearing down on your heels — preaching the half-baked gospel of some new kind of back-porch, floor-stomping music.
"One needs to see Durham's live videos or, better yet, a live performance to fully appreciate his talents. I've never seen a solo multi-instrumentalist put on such a mind-blowing performance." — Allan Claudio, Blues Rock Review, 2026 Blues Rock Review

Lincoln Durham doesn't sound like anyone's idea of safe. A self-described "obnoxious Southern-gothic scary-blues one-man-band," he plays a stage full of instruments on his own — stomp, slide, and a voice that lands somewhere between sermon and confession. Across five albums (2012's The Shovel vs. the Howling Bones to 2023's Resurrection Thorn), he's built a reputation that critics and live audiences rate far above his streaming numbers — the mark of an artist who's deliberately raw rather than radio-ready. Mentored by a Legend, with placements on CW's Walker and Lethal Weapon, he self-produces and tours as a singular live act. A new record is coming.
