Alvon Johnson learned the blues from the men who wrote it. John Lee Hooker, Pee Wee Crayton, Lowell Fulson and Guitar Shorty all had a hand in his education, and it shows every time he leans into a solo. He has sung with The Coasters, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group behind "Yakety Yak" and "Charlie Brown," and he travels the world fronting big bands on swinging jazz standards.
He works a room with a showman's timing (he has shared stages with comics Robin Harris and LaWanda Page) and an old school blues player's feel, and his album The Blues Chose Me says it plainly. He has been bringing that mix to Biscuits and Blues for a decade. Two shows, one night, and no two sets alike.
