Audio only this week, but you won’t want to miss our entertaining conversation with Corridor Blues Great Kevin Burt, who has only taken 20 years to become an overnight success. One of Iowa’s leading bluesman for years, the rest of the world learned of his prowess when he won the International Blues Challenge in Memphis this past January.
Kevin tells Dennis about how he was TRICKED into auditioning for his first band, which would become the legendary Blues Instigators, the nerve-wracking juried performances at the Blues Challenge, and the huge festivals courting him after his win.
Kevin with Big Medicine, and special guests including some of the leading blues musicians in Iowa, perform at KCCK’s Jazz Under the Stars, August 9th at 7pm in Cedar Rapids’ Noelridge Park.
