South African guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Ross Harding announces Blues Shadows, a three-part release exploring the darker edges of the blues through his distinctive style of Dark Blues — cinematic yet raw, minimal and atmospheric.

Built around voice, dark and weighty acoustic guitar and slide, Blues Shadows strips the music back to its essence while drawing on themes of the prophetic, artistic sacrifice, power, faith, desire and consequence. The performances are intimate and unvarnished, capturing a sense of tension and immediacy that runs through each track. Entirely self-produced, the record carries a depth and weight in its acoustic guitar sound that sets it apart — a modern, heavy approach to a traditionally stripped format, where tone, space and performance drive the production.

Featured in Blues in Britain, Blues Rock Review and more, Ross Harding continues to build a growing audience across the UK with his distinctive sound and live performances. Speaking of which, Ross is currently heading out on the ‘Blues Shadows’ 2026 UK tour as the last one of the three singles on the EP is due for release.

“John The Revelator” — 1 May
“Graveyard Blues” — 5 June
“If I Had Possession Over Judgement Day” — 10 July
