  • For More Than Four Decades, This Award-Winning Radio Producer and Musician Has Been “Driving the Blues Bus Down Blue Avenue” for Iowa Listeners
    IOWAN ICON BOB DORRFor more than four decades, this award-winning radio producer and musician has been “driving the blues bus down Blue Avenue” for Iowa listeners.

  • Luther Johnson – Telarc.Com Luther “Guitar Junior” Johnson Is One of the Premier Blues Artists to Emerge from Chicago's
    Luther Johnson – telarc.com Luther “Guitar Junior” Johnson is one of the premier blues artists to emerge from Chicago’s music scene. Hailing from Itta Bena, Mississippi, Johnson arrived in Chicago in the mid-fifties a young man. At around the same time, the West Side guitar style, a way of playing alternating stinging single-note leads with powerful distorted chords, was being created mostly by Magic Sam and Otis Rush. Originally developed because their small bands could not afford both lead and rhythm guitar players, this style grew into an important contribution to modern blues and rock, influencing such notables as Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler. Johnson served a long sideman apprenticeship with both Magic Sam and Muddy Waters, while developing into a strong performer in his own right. Today, Luther is widely considered the foremost proponent of the West Side guitar style and the heir apparent to the late Magic Sam’s West Side throne. Luther Johnson first gained an international reputation as a guitarist and vocalist with Muddy Waters’ band, touring the U.S., Europe, Japan and Australia from 1973-79. Given the opportunity to front the band on his featured tunes in each show, Johnson’s super-charged performances consistently thrilled audiences in the world’s leading concert halls, including Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Center and Radio City Music Hall as well as at music festivals in Newport, Antibes, New Orleans and countless others. During his association with Muddy Waters, Johnson also shared the stage with The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, The Allman Brothers and Johnny Winter.

  • Bryan Lee È Una Delle Migliori Istituzioni Blues Di New Orleans Che Si Sia Mai Conosciuta
    Biografia from Wisconsin “Bryan Lee è una delle migliori istituzioni blues di New Orleans che si sia mai conosciuta. Ha suonato per molte notti, portando il blues al di fuori dei club e suonando per molte per- sone, in tutto il mondo, più di altre Blues band. Quello che fa la differenza non è quanto sia stato in viaggio ma, piuttosto, la corte che ha tenuto al Absinthe Bar nel cuore del French Quarter. Il Re sta sul suo trono mentre il suo reale blues viaggia in tutte le parti del mondo trascorrendo ogni notte con uno dei migliori american bluesman.” Quint Davis Nato il 16 marzo del 1943 in Wisconsin, Bryan Lee perde completamente la vista all’età di 8 anni. Il suo avido interesse per il rock e per il blues viene incoraggiato, negli anni ‘50, attraverso gli ascolti radiofonici di artisti quali Elmore James, Albert King e Albert Collins, dove incontra e percepisce il loro sound. Nel suo tardo periodo adolescenziale inizia a suonare la chitarra acustica in una band chiamata “The Glaciers” che propone covers di Elvis Presley, Little Richard e Chuck Berry ma, attraverso gli anni ‘60, l’interesse di Bryan si sposta nella Chicago Blues dove si ritrova, ben presto, immerso in queste scene, aprendo i concerti per molti dei suoi eroi. Nel gennaio del 1982, Lee si dirige nel sud di New Orleans, approdando in un co- stante show al “Old Absinthe House” nel cuore del French Quarter. Per i seguenti 14 anni Lee e la sua band, i Jump Street Five, suonano 5 notti alla settimana nel famoso locale, svilluppando un’enorme scia di fans e una solida re- putazione.

  • Wherever They Play, Boney Fields and the Bone's Project Leave Behind Them a Lasting Impression. Like a High Energy Gunpowder T
    © Matthieu FAURE – Brenda TURNNIDGE Wherever they play, Boney Fields and The Bone’s Project leave behind them a lasting impression. Like a high energy gunpowder trail, dispensing a cross of blues and funk which unites and rallies the masses in a heavenly musical communion. Fronted by the dynamic, trumpet player, singer/songwriter Boney Fields, the combo has gained a bigger and bigger following. The bowler-hatted musician has come a long way since founding his own band, ten years ago. If he comes from Chicago Blues, he has expanded the contours with an iron willed determination. A lover of soul, groove, jazz, Boney Fields knows, as do certain other musicians of his generation, that the life of blues exists through constant evolution and rejuvenation. With humility and conviction, he follows his own path finding his own originality on the way. A man resolutely of his time, yet also immersed in the heritage of his musical forefathers, Boney Fields proves that the blues still has some great days ahead of it. Romain GROSMAN (Vibrations – Jazz News – Les Inrocks …) CHANGING FOR THE FUTURE BIOGRAPHY Boney Fields hails from the Chicago ghetto, where he was born at the end of the fifties. In his family, some played blues, others gospel. He studied jazz at In 1999 he produced « Hard Work » his college choosing the trumpet, « cause I first self produced album.

  • Destiny. Luck. Coincidence. Magic? You Decide Which Noun Best Fits the Story We Are About to Tell
    Braille Blues Daddy Destiny. Luck. Coincidence. Magic? You decide which noun best fits the story we are about to tell. It’s the story of how a blind, New Orleans-based blues artist named Bryan Lee – affectionately known as the “Braille Blues Daddy” – delivered a message of hope to the members of Midtown Athletic Club. If you caught an earful of Lee’s performance this winter, you received that message through his music. But of all the blues artists out there today, why Bryan Lee? Where did this inter-state connection begin? The spark between the Club and Bryan Lee was first ignited by one of the blues guitarist and singer’s biggest fans: Midtown general manager, Glenn Williams. When Glenn discovered that a trip to Chicago would coincide with a live show featuring one of his favorite musicians – a man who the great Muddy Waters once referred to as “a living legend” – he decided this was one opportunity he just couldn’t pass up. It only took one pre-concert conversation with Glenn to convince Bryan Lee to bring his musical gifts to the Midtown café and lounge. Having gained some insight into the personal history behind Lee’s music, which includes 15 years as a fixture at the Old Absinthe House in New Orleans, Glenn wanted to give all Midtown members the chance to hear his remarkable story. As you might expect, the seventy-year-old blues man speaks about the same as he sings: with strength, wisdom, and always with his own distinct brand of soul. 2 A Conversation with Bryan Lee together and gave me a crash course in brail “Muddy told me, stay arithmetic one weekend.
