AJ Ghent [ j-ent ] (Atlanta, GA)

AJ Ghent [J-ent] is all about energy: musically, physically and spiritually. He takes his family’s heirloom “the sacred steel sound” and brings to a broader audience, by standing up: which allows him more freedom in performing and connecting with others. Over the years, Ghent has shared music with Zac Brown, Dave Grohl, and legendary freeform artist, Colonel Bruce Hampton. Ghent’s new creation, THE NEO BLUES PROJECT (March 2018) debut at #7 on the Blues Billboard Charts, and is filled with everything that it should be: grooves, riffs and above all, message.
