A Collector’s Holy Grail.
This is the heartbeat of Ryan Coogler’s blues-vampire epic, captured on vinyl and transformed into a historical artifact.

1. SINNERS - We are guaranteeing at least 3 signatures from the powerhouse talent who brought the film’s haunting Delta sound to life.
2. KENNY NEAL - Signed on the night he's inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame. Take a photo with the Legend on the Blues Carpet to prove it!
3. Rising, legend in the making DK Harrell's album that landed him three Blues Music Award Nominations. Signed of course!

With legends like Buddy Guy, Bobby Rush, Kingfish, and Cedric Burnside in the mix, this isn't just an album—it's a roll call of blues royalty. Because these are being signed live during our Memphis & Chicago events, you’re getting a piece of the magic as it happens.

The "BLUES" – A Mardi Gras Folk-Art Masterpiece

Donated by a dedicated regular of the Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise, this isn’t just art—it’s a time capsule. This piece was painstakingly hand-crafted using thousands of authentic Mardi Gras beads collected over several years of cruising the high seas. Every bead represents a late-night jam, a sunset on the deck, and a story from the Blues community.

What Makes It Special:

• Labor of Love: Years of collecting and countless hours of hand-assembly went into this intricate design.
• Insider Pedigree: A true "insider" item donated by a member of the LRBC family.
• Ultimate Conversation Piece: Whether it’s in your music room or your office, nobody is going to walk past this without asking, "What’s the story behind that?"
• Pure Impact: 100% of your winning bid through Zeffy supports the GoldenVoice Audio Foundation’s mission to celebrate and preserve the Blues legacy.

This exclusive matted, ready for framing, photo auction lot brings together the past, present, and future of the Blues through the lens of KBA Award-Winning Photographer Laura Carbone.

The Collection:

• The Legend: A stunning photograph of the undisputed King of the Blues, B.B. King. (Unsigned)
• The Future: A vibrant photograph of Christone "Kingfish" Ingram, hand-signed by Kingfish himself.

The Story:
There is a heavy truth in these two images. One man, B.B. King, spent a lifetime building the kingdom, defining the very soul of the electric Blues. The other, Kingfish, was born into that lineage, carrying a name that felt like destiny before he ever picked up a guitar.

One is the Legend who paved the road; the other is the Legend in the Making who is now driving it forward. By owning these two pieces, you aren't just collecting photography—you are witnessing the endurance of the "King" mantle and the unbreakable thread that keeps the Blues alive.

R.K. Kidd II (the professional alias of artist Russell Baker) is a master of "mood and memory" whose oil paintings capture the gritty, soulful essence of Americana. Based in the spirit of the Mississippi River and the urban streets of California, Kidd II is widely recognized for his "Almost Daily Art" project, where he documents the unsung heroes and legends of American culture.

His style blends street-level realism with a deep, observational respect for his subjects. Whether he’s painting a weathered bluesman or a musical icon like Big Mama Thornton, Kidd II’s work is characterized by rich textures and a poignant, bluesy narrative that honors the heart of the community. His pieces are held in private collections across the country, prized for their ability to evoke a specific time, place, and soul.

He and his wife are former Cruisers but has since retired and living a peaceful life on an island. His artwork which was featured on clothing is still seen today at blues events across the world.

Based between New York and Chicago, her photography has graced the pages of Blues Music Magazine and Elmore Magazine, and her iconic shots have even been featured by the US Postal Service. She is perhaps best known for her "Women of the Blues" project, a traveling exhibition that documents the emotional intensity and legacy of female blues artists. From B.B. King to Mavis Staples, Laura’s lens doesn't just take a picture—it preserves a heartbeat.
