Rev Kenn Spoon Blanchard, widely known as The Blusician, is a Maryland based musician, pastor, author, and guitar craftsman who unites faith and blues under one sound. His work joins heartfelt storytelling with the spirit of redemption, creating performances that speak to both soul and conscience.
A Marine Corps veteran and lifelong advocate for personal freedom, Kenn has walked through hardship and healing. His book Finding Joy in the Blues shares that journey from battlefields and pulpits to recording studios and repair benches, showing how music can lift grief into grace.
Through his Upper Marlboro workshop he provides guitar and bass repairs for local players who value tone, trust, and care. Every setup, fret dress, and rewire reflects the same devotion he brings to the stage and the sanctuary. Clients describe him as a teacher, healer, and friend who makes their instruments and often their spirits sound alive again.
Performing under the motto Good News Rhythm and Blues, The Blusician travels to churches, veteran events, bike rallies, and community festivals to share music that bridges pain and hope. He believes that a single song played with truth can reach where sermons cannot.
Beyond the music his podcast and blog offer reflections on faith, caregiving, and resilience. Each post invites listeners and readers to see that joy is not found in escaping the blues but in embracing them with grace and groove.
