Johnny Burgin earns his name as ‘The Worldwide West Side Guitar Man’ by performing up to 250 shows a year in Europe, Japan and coast to coast in the US. Johnny started his career in the rough and tumble neighborhood blues joints on Chicago’s West Side with Howlin’ Wolf disciple Tail Dragger, and went on to tour with blues legends such as Pinetop Perkins, Sam Lay and Billy Boy Arnold. He’s been praised by the Cascade Blues Association for his “stunning guitar playing—the pure Chicago styled sound”, and his fans love Johnny’s take on the intense, stripped-down “West Side sound” of Otis Rush, Magic Sam and Buddy Guy. Johnny is a Delmark and Vizztone recording artist with 8 CDs to his credit. He was nominated for a BMA for Best Traditional Blues CD of 2017 for Howlin’ at Greaseland, a Howlin’ Wolf tribute. http://www.johnnyburgin.com/
Quique Gomez has toured all over Europe, The Midwest and California as a blues singer and harmonicist. He has performed with many of the last generation of traditional Chicago blues artists such as John Primer, Eddie C Campbell, Bob Stroger, Jimmy Burns and Taildragger. He also sings Frank Sinatra song with the Bob Sands Big Band in his hometown of Madrid. He also had a Spanish radio hit with his swing-influenced band, Los Gatos Bizcos. His eclectic and jazzy approach combine with his bedrock in Chicago blues for a unique sound. His best quality is his engaging showmanship, walking the crowd and filling the club with his voice without a microphone like the great Kansas City swinging blues singers.
