About this Event
Joel Astley teams up once again with Blues Music Award nominee Johnny Burgin. Known as one of the hardest working bluesmen on the scene, Johnny played over 200 dates just last year, across the US, Mexico, Japan and Europe. Burgin grew up in Misssissippi and South Carolina, and in the 90's he ended up in Chicago with the intention of becoming a writer. When a friend took him out to a West Side ghetto blues club, he was swallowed headfirst into the vibrant Chicago blues scene. By the late 90s, Johnny was working regularly in Chicagoland blues clubs under his own name. Since then, Johnny has gigged and recorded with a host of blues veterans and legends, a list too long to include here. He boasts an extensive discography and is on countless recordings with veterans like Johnny Sansone, Paul DeLay, Bob Corritore, and Jimmy Burns as well as up and comers like Aki Kumar, Joel Astley, and Ben Levin.
Johnny’s recent release “Ramblin’ from Coast to Coast", street date 03.10.24 on the Danish Straight Shooter label, is currently charting worldwide.
