Just a few off the top of my head but the songs below to me are blues. They aren’t constrained by what is an accepted blues structure though.

This is is absolutely Blues: https://youtu.be/7dBfwGX_3I8
Gary Clark jnr wears a hat.
Try Philip Sayce, although he's probably too rock for a lot of blues fans.
And he does seem to have taken to wearing hats recently... maybe his hair's on the way out.

c'mon, the vocals are the wasted space between the guitar solos!
btw 2 words on guitar tone: Henrik Freischlader. he seems to make heavy weather of his picking (it's all downstrokes from what I've seen) but his tone is to die for!
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
Feedback
Mainly dropped into the thread to mention Joanne Shaw Taylor though...great voice, tasteful guitar player and decent songwriting talent. Well worth a listen if you like your blues dirtier or based in rock. Saw her touring her last album, Wild - which was excellent. New album out this month.
She tends to be a bit more melodic than a lot of the current technical players so it’s stuff I can listen to rather than just admire from a distance. I’ve seen her live a couple of times and well worth seeing, quite humble stage presence between songs then let’s rip.
