International Touring Artist and multi-instrumentalist Anthony "Big A" Sherrod personifies the authentic delta blues legacy that is still heard today in his native Clarksdale, Mississippi. Introduced to music in the church, his father, E.J. Johnson, was a gospel singer that performed with The Golden Stars. By the age of 6, he began playing and hasn't stopped.
