Johnny Burgin performs close to 250 shows a year in Europe, Japan and coast to coast in the US. Johnny grew up in Mississippi and went to University of Chicago at 18, but ended up attending "blues university". Johnny met a dj on the college radio station who took him to see the @HowlinWolf style singer @TailDragger on the West Side of Chicago. Tail Dragger took Johnny under his wing and gave him his first professional gigs, and from there Johnny learned quickly and went on to tour and and perform with blues legends such as Pinetop Perkins and Sam Lay. He's been praised by the Cascade Blues Association for his "stunning guitar playing-- the pure Chicago styled sound." His most recent CD is "Ramblin' From Coast to Coast" on the Danish label Straight Shooter label. Johnny was nominated for a BMA for Best Traditional Blues CD of 2017 for "Howlin' at Greaseland", a Howlin' Wolf tribute, and he was nominated for Blues Blast Award for Best Live Blues Recording for "Johnny Burgin Live", featuring Charlie Musselwhite and released on Chicago's Delmark label.
