Luther Kent (June 23, 1948 – August 16, 2024) was an American blues singer based in New Orleans, Louisiana. Kent was known for a big soulful voice and his big horn-based group, Luther Kent & Trick Bag, that mixed swinging blues with New Orleans R&B. Towards the end, Kent had a show that came on Saturdays on WBRH called Luther's House Party.
