International Blues Festival Champion Kevin Burt joins Tom The Suit Forst on Chasing the Blues 2, Episode 31. For more than 25 years Kevin Burt has been electrifying audiences throughout the Midwest dispelling the myth that true blues has no roots in Iowa. His soul-inspired presentation is unique which consistently get him compared to a range of artists like Bill Withers and Aaron Neville, with the ability to build an audience rapport that has been compared to B.B. King. Kevin Burt has won many awards and played many festivals both solo and with his band, the Instigators. His awards include Best Entertainer in Iowa City (three times) Best Band in Iowa City (three times) Iowa Blues Challenge Champions, Named as one of the top 25 unsigned blues bands in the world by the International Blues Challenge Competition. Kevin is also recognized as one of the Midwest’s top blues heritage educators. This honor was given to him by the Governor of Iowa, Chet Culver in February of 2009. Kevin is a registered artist, and artist educator with the state of Iowa Arts Council. He has also written and published a classroom harmonica method book called “Just Play It: an introduction to blues harmonica.” His approach is simple, education through entertainment. His program has been going strong since 1994. Burt plans to continue this work as well as his community work with Children and the arts. With the support of his family and community, good things will be happening for Kevin “B.F.” Burt in 2019.In a comparably short career, Kevin Burt has shared the stage in one form or another with a who’s who in the music world.

The Brooks family is known for the business of blues. Their patriarch is the legendary Lonnie Brooks, formerly known as Guitar Jr whose two sons Ronnie Baker Brooks and Wayne Baker Brooks are receiving the torch; not just for the family legacy but the blues as a whole. Ronnie Baker Brooks has three successful contemporary blues albums under his belt produced by the legendary Minnesota based Jellybean Johnson, a veteran collaborator for Prince and Janet Jackson. His recent project pairs him with Mud Morganfield, Billy Branch and Erica Brown as a member of the Big Head Blues Club created by Todd Park Mohr who leads the popular Denver based rock band, Big Head Todd and the Monsters. Their album is called Way Down Inside and pays tribute to the late Willie Dixon.

Toronzo Cannon is recognized as one of Chicago’s most popular and exciting bluesmen. The singer, songwriter and guitarist is part of the new generation of Chicago players continuing the blues legacy of their great city. He could be considered a late bloomer, picking up the guitar during his mid-twenties and quickly unlocking his dormant dominant blues gene which has guided him all the way to the top of the blues charts. During the 90’s, Toronzo cut his teeth with Tommy McCracken, LV Banks and Wayne Baker Brooks before launching a solo career on Delmark. His debut album on Alligator is a masterpiece that provides a blueprint for the modern contemporary blues sound. It has already earned a top spot on the Billboard charts. Media outlets are calling Toronzo the next blues great.
