And if you think that blues comes from pain, you should hear sevdalinke from Bosnia. This is best modern singer for me at moment, quite something to watch and hear. Was on concert, he was all over stage in 12 cm high heels

So, the definition of contemporary blues is something that has been recorded recently but also sounds like it could have been recorded anytime in the last 100+ years (save for the actual recording of course)Eric Bibb is the real deal.
If it’s blues (or blues influenced) and recorded post Y2K (as per OP’s request ) then it is relevant.

Thanks for that duo de twang, I’ve had the original cd ‘tales from the punchbowl’ since it came out but never knew this existed.....definately puts the blues spin on it!
Tommy Emanuel is an Australian treasure who I think we stole (I remember reading about him getting American citizenship not that long ago) here he is doing a Bill Monroe classic with the ‘Dawg’

I recall going to see Stevie Ray Vaughan play when he was OPENING for Robert Cray!
We left after the opening act so as not to dull the mood...
Good memory! Sadly, I never got to see SVR.
I don't think I've seen Chris Thomas King mentioned yet, he's bona fide.
This one may be most recognizable:
Hard Time Killing Floor Blues
A couple others
Red Mud
Cypress Grove
