Tuesday-Bluesday with Johnny Burgin

JUST ANNOUNCED!

Blues guitarist and singer, BMA and Blues Blast Award Nominee Johnny Burgin now hangs his hat in Memphis, and he grew up in Starkville, Mississippi. He went to University of Chicago at 18, but ended up attending "blues university" for the following two decades. Apprenticing in the North Side and West Side clubs of Chicago, he seized the opportunity to learn from and work with Chicago blues legends like Pinetop Perkins, Tail Dragger, Sam Lay and Billy Boy Arnold. As the years and his own recordings passed, Johnny broadened his Chicago base to live in the Bay Area and New Orleans, collaborating with Charlie Musselwhite (who's on Johnny's Live Delmark LP) and Johnny Sansone. Now Johnny is a tireless road warrior, performing close to 200 nights a year across the US, Mexico, Europe and Japan. Johnny teaches guitar workshops that draw internationally, The Pinetop Perkins Foundation Workshop in Clarksdale MS and his own Chicago Blues Guitar Workshop in Chicago. Johnny's a '24 Blues Blast Award Nominee and '23 BMA Nominee for Best Traditional Blues Artist. His latest CD, "Ramblin From Coast to Coast" was the 6th most played release of '24 on The Big Blues Chart. From Hot Wax Album Reviews: "With stinging guitar and luxurious grooves, Ramblin’ From Coast To Coast is like the best ever soundtrack for an epic road trip."
