EMANUEL CASABLANCA
Emanuel Casablanca is a Brooklyn-born guitarist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and one of the boldest voices in modern blues-rock. Blending the traditions of Muddy Waters, Albert King, and Jimi Hendrix with the contemporary edge of artists like Gary Clark Jr. and Dan Auerbach, Casablanca has created a raw, cinematic sound rooted in emotional honesty and fearless experimentation.
After gaining attention with early singles "Postcoital" and "Just to Feel Whole," Casablanca broke through with his acclaimed 2022 album Blood on My Hands, featuring collaborations with Eric Gales, Paul Gilbert, and Albert Castiglia. The album earned Independent Blues Award nominations and established him as a rising force in modern blues. He continued pushing boundaries with 2024's Strung Out on Thrills and 2025's genre-bending Hollywood Forever, blending blues-rock with psychedelic, electronic, and outlaw influences.
Known for his electrifying live performances, Casablanca has appeared at festivals including SXSW, NXNE, and Berlin Music Week, while sharing stages with artists connected to Cheap Trick, Living Colour, and The Rolling Stones. Beyond music, he is also a visual artist, actor, and founder of The Emanuel Casablanca Foundation. His next album, Blood on My Hands II, arrives February 12, 2027.
