Johnny Burgin

Live Johnny Burgin

This live album offers twelve brand-new originals and two covers done by artists who don't play together regularly, performed for a packed house of enthusiastic fans. The band had just one night to nail it - which made this recording a crazy, but thrilling, high wire act! Johnny drew from the great Bay Area blues talent pool that lured him to the West Coast back in 2016. Blues legend Charlie Musselwhite's driving boogie-woogie harp on California Blues is an absolute highlight. You could feel a jolt of electricity run through the crowd when Portland, Oregon-based Rae Gordon took the stage. The end result is a raw, fresh, and original all-star set of blues, shot through with live energy. Recorded 1.5.19 at Redwood Cafe, Cotati, CA.
