John Primer has undisputedly helped shape the sound and style of Chicago blues. The echoes of tradition from the birthplaces he played, such as Maxwell Street, Theresa's, Checkerboard, and Rosa's Lounge, can be heard in every chord he plays. John Primer is a true Chicago Blues Living Legend.
Born in 1945 on a Mississippi sharecropper's land, Primer was inspired by his family's hard work, field songs, and the blues. His dream was to one day play with the legendary Muddy Waters.

Chicago blues legend John Primer — three-time Grammy® nominee and Blues Hall of Fame artist — honors the legendary Theresa's Lounge (4801 S. Indiana) with a powerful new album featuring musicians who got their start on that very stage. Tribute to Theresa's Lounge brings together an all-star lineup including Billy Branch, Willie Buck, Carlos Johnson, Mary Lane, John Watkins, Harmonica Hinds, Twist Turner, Bob Stroger, Jeff Brinkman, and Tony Mangiullo — all alumni of Chicago's greatest blues club.
The album's 13 tracks capture the spirit of the music you'd hear at Theresa's any night of the week, dedicated to the memory of Theresa Needham, who gave generations of blues musicians a place to connect, learn, and grow. As Bob Corritore says, "Who better to lead this band than John Primer, who played at Theresa's Lounge seven nights a week for seven years!"
