BOGALUSA, La. (WGNO) — Blues musician Chris Thomas King will headline the 2025 Bogalusa Blues and Heritage Festival.

King is known for his catalog of music, as well as his performances in the movies, "Ray," and "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"

King has won Grammy awards and Country Music Awards for his work over the years.

The blues lives inside King's soul.

"I grew up in a jig joint. My dad ran Tabby's Blues Box and Heritage Hall for 25 years. I grew up as a teenager playing with older blues musicians, so I've been doing this since I was knee-high," King said.

His passion for the blues lead him to the opportunity to play Tommy Johnson in the hit 2000 film, "O Brother, Where Art Thou."

"The film introduced me to a wider popular audience. It was an amazing series of events," he said.
