Where the Blues Began – Ma Rainey

$22.00

Bow down to the blueprint. This Bella+Canvas super soft tee features a vivid pop art portrait of Ma Rainey—the one, the only, the Mother of the Blues. Long before the genre had a name, Ma was growling out love, loss, desire, and defiance with a stage presence so commanding, it still echoes today. She didn’t just break rules—she wrote her own.

This vibrant design celebrates her swagger, her voice, and her trailblazing role as one of the first openly queer performers in recorded music history. Printed on a luxuriously soft Bella+Canvas tee, this shirt is made for those who respect the roots and rock the rhythm.

  • Original pop art portrait of Ma Rainey

  • Printed on Bella+Canvas unisex super soft tee
