Maurice John Vaughn with The Freddie Dixon Band

"...an engaging and personal mix of blues styles from gut-bucket to Hendrix ...[Vaughn's] guitar playing is nasty, tasty and very fluid...an unpretentious joy to the soul."
-- Living Blues

"...great playing, great singing, bits of humorous storytelling and that deep, deep feeling."
-- Guitar World

Maurice John Vaughn is a true blues original. A triple threat on guitar, saxophone and vocals, Vaughn writes powerful, innovative and often humorous songs that spring directly from his vast musical experience. His soulful and passionate vocals are convincing because they are earned -- Vaughn means what he sings. Coming out of the streets of Chicago, Vaughn was raised on Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf, black Top 40 and James Brown. Like the greats who have come before him, he has incorporated his various influences into a blues and R&B style that is completely his own.
