​Greenville, MS – GRAMMY-nominated and Louisiana Hall of Fame Inductee Julian Primeaux will bring his swamp-soaked blend of blues, rock, and soul to the Main Stage presented by Regions Bank at the 14th Annual Delta Hot Tamale Festival on Saturday, October 18, 2025, at 3:15 p.m.
Hailing from southern Louisiana, Primeaux has built a career defined by raw energy and heartfelt storytelling. He picked up the guitar at just eight years old and by his early teens was already performing regularly, from Louisiana juke joints to Times Square and European stages. His recorded catalog includes Flowers From My Bones (2009), Rock ’n’ Roll Boy (2011), This Guilded, Swaying Heart (2016), and his 2023 release Songs for the Heart of Sister Flute, which earned him a nomination for Singer/Songwriter Album of the Year at the Offbeat Magazine Best of the Beat Awards. In 2025, he released Spinning Heartache Into Gold, the final installment in his emotional trilogy.
Primeaux’s artistry has earned recognition on some of the world’s most respected stages. In 2022, he received a Grammy nomination for his performance on Corey Ledet’s album, and in 2024 he was inducted into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame. He has also been featured as a spotlight artist on NPR’s World Cafe.
