Johnny Burgin releases new album on Straight Shooter Records
Blues guitarist, singer, and BMA Nominee Johnny Burgin describes his never-ending touring schedule
in a typically understated way: “It takes me a year to see my friends, and then I do it all over again.”
Often travelling without a band, he discovers novel and fruitful collaborations on the road.
“Ramblin’ from Coast to Coast” is the result: eleven original blues from the road cut in Dallas, Cincinnati, Rochester NY and Memphis TN with cameos from the likes of John Blues Boyd, Rae Gordon, Ben Levin, Hanna PK, Jad Tariq, Jon Hay, and Dylan Bishop. Johnny draws from his years of experience in the Chicago blues idiom (as well as his popular weekly blues guitar YouTube videos) to put just the right repartee into the musical conversation.
Johnny’s also known as a strong writer; “Gettin’ My Blues On” is from the point of view of a diehard blues fan who is
just scraping by financially. Judging from audience reactions, this tune is poised to be the Blues Anthem of the Year!
The new album will be released in April 2024 on the Danish blues record label Straight Shooter Records and will be followed up by a release tour in Norway, Denmark and Sweden in august 2024.
