“a sound that’s as fresh as it is timeless”
Welcome! Are you looking for an exciting, high-quality, professional act for your festival, venue or event?
Below you'll find all the information you need to book Lil' Red & The Rooster in one of their many formats perfect for your needs and budget. From headliners to intimate cafes, they offer the same original and unique music, contagious charm and serious Blues.
“What makes Lil’ Red & The Rooster so magnetic is their ability to walk that tightrope between tradition and invention.Cool Happy Genius Heroes”
A deep calling led them both to the Blues, and the Blues brought Lil’ Red (Jennifer Milligan) and Pascal Fouquet together in 2010. They’ve been living and breathing their music ever since—Retro Modern Blues—intimately real, at times hilarious, and always coming from love and respect for humanity and the Blues. International Blues Challenge finalists (2019) and featured on PBS’s Songs at the Center, they’ve released “Soul Burnin’” (2017) featuring Dave Specter, “Keep On!” (2022) with Billy Branch, Kenny Smith & Felton Crews, and “7” (2025) featuring Bobby Floyd. Catch them at Buddy Guy’s Legends, on festival stages, or on their weekly live streams—because for them, it’s all about the music, it’s all about the shuffle, it’s all about the Blues.
