The Boxcar Sessions by Mary Simon
Introducing "The Boxcar Sessions", the latest sultry bluesy rock EP from the incomparable Mary Simon. Crafted amidst the solitude of the pandemic, Simon's raw talent shines through as she collaborates with a select group of musician friends, resulting in a collection of tracks that resonate with authenticity and emotion.
From the infectious energy of "Heart Sing" to the empowering anthem of "You're Not Worthy", each song on this EP tells a story of love, resilience, and self-discovery. "Number One" delves into the depths of personal strength, while "Play Me" captures the bittersweet essence of unrequited love. Closing with the poignant "If You Wanna", Simon's powerful vocals and evocative lyrics leave a lasting impression.Monday, June 17, 2024
Johnny Burgin
His move to the Bay Area in 2016 led to a creative burst and his most notable recordings. In a few short years, Johnny cranked out the Cali/Chicago blues mashups Greetings from Greaseland, Neoprene Fedora, the Howlin’ Wolf tribute Howlin’ at Greaseland (nominated for a BMA for Best Traditional Blues Recording) and Johnny Burgin Live, which featured blues legend Charlie Musselwhite and was nominated for a Blues Blast Best Live Recording Award for 2019. Johnny had always done road work, but during this time, he grew into the role of the constantly touring road warrior he’s known as today. Johnny’s produced eleven CDs as a leader to his credit (including “Ramblin’ from Coast to Coast, street date 03.10.24 on the Danish Straight Shooter label), and dozens more as a sideman. He’s recorded with veterans like Johnny Sansone, Paul DeLay, Bob Corritore, and Jimmy Burns as well as up and comers like Aki Kumar, Joel Astley, and Ben Levin.
Johnny’s developed from a young guitar slinger and local blues hero to a matured bluesman, fully fledged singer and the confident and engaging bandleader. In recent years, he has been a resident instructor at the Pinetop Perkins Foundation and the Chicago Blues Guitar Workshop and has developed a loyal following on YouTube channel for his weekly looks at the blues guitar greats. Johnny’s recordings have evolved from being very Chicago-centric, to a fusion of West Coast and Chicago styles, and finally,to a more inclusive, international approach. His latest CD, No Border Blues Japan, is the first American compilation of the underground Japanese blues scene.
