Loïs MORGAN « The One BluesMan Band »

In February 2022, Loïs Morgan set foot for the first time, at the age of 23, hobo-style, in the American Deep South…

The doors of Louis Armstrong Airport in New Orleans opened.

The young man he was was not simply traveling to the other side of the world to listen to traditional music; he was truly on a mission: to find, in that teeming hive of activity, a certain John Fohl, former guitarist for the great Dr. John, who had introduced him to the Blues when he was 15 years old…

Taken under the wing of this local blues master, he was able to follow his teachings, learning at the source the tunes of Snooks Eaglin, Blind Blake, Blind Willie Johnson…

At the end of this first journey, the young musician decided to shut himself away in rural Louisiana. A small, isolated wooden cabin on the outskirts of the Cajun community of Breaux Bridge sheltered, for about two weeks, a deep need for solitude. There, under the porch, sitting in a weathered old rocking chair, his eyes fixed on the Atchafalaya River flowing just beneath his boots, he played guitar all day and all night. It was “eh là-bas,” as the old jazz song says, that he composed most of the tracks that make up his latest album, “Voodoo Spell,” released in December 2025, the result of collaborations with three Louisiana musicians and already honored with a Coup de Cœur award from the France Blues Society. This very album, born from his innermost being, will be presented at the Memphis Blues Awards to represent France in 2026.
