J Candeed is an energetic singer-songwriter based in Raleigh, traveling the country injecting his positive musical spirit into audiences far and wide, blending hill-country blues, traditional bluegrass, and psychedelic groove using a mandola, kick, and snare drum. Born and raised in Mississippi, he was immersed in the hypnotic grooves of R.L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough and the traditional gospel melodies ringing from the church pews.
