It was a great night of both classic and obscure Blues! The musicianship was top shelf! The dance floor was full of local swing dancers that come out every Wednesday. A great time was had by all

Hearing Johnny Burgin at the Monkey House was like finding the gold at the end of a rainbow. What a wonderful gift! He played beautifully and we couldn't get enough. The Monkey House is a small 50 seat venue but very comfortable and a ton of fun. Thank you to Ira for finding great talent to showcase in his tiny wonderland!

About Johnny Burgin
Johnny Burgin performs over 200 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 Howlin' Wolf style singer Tail Dragger 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 or gig with blues legends such as Pinetop Perkins, Sam Lay and Billy Boy Arnold. He's been praised by the Cascade Blues Association for his "stunning guitar playing-- the pure Chicago styled sound".
Johnny’s played on dozens of records as a sideman and as a leader, he’s released ten CDs on Delmark and Vizztone records. He'll have a new CD coming out 03.01.24 on the Danish label Straight Shooter. Living Blues magazine called his recent live LP (featuring Charlie Musselwhite, Kid Andersen and Rae Gordon) "a joyous listen". No Border Blues: Japan came from Johnny’s many tours and long relationships in Japan and is the first American compilation of the underground Japanese blues scene. Vintage Guitar stated: “Stellar fretwork, gloriously loose, earthy and immediate Chicago blues”. In 2023 Johnny was nominated the Best Traditional Blues Artist BMA, and he was nominated for Best Traditional Blues CD of 2017 for Howlin' at Greaseland, a Howlin' Wolf tribute. He was nominated for a Blast Blast Award for Best Live Release in 2020.
