CHICAGO BLUES EXPLOSION is an all-star Chicago Blues spectacular featuring the finest Chicago Blues musicians who are flying in directly to appear at the January Blues Festival.

With a line up hand-picked and put together in collaboration with the January Blues Festival and leading blues harmonica player Giles Robson, this is the ultimate celebration of Chicago Blues.

Three-time Grammy nominated artist and American blues legend John Primer was the bandleader and guitarist for Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon and Magic Slim.

Alligator Records recording artist Toronzo Cannon performs his debut UK shows at the January Blues Festival. Gary Clark, Jr. declared, "Toronzo is a beast. He lights the room up,"

Another UK debut comes from Nora Jean Wallace a.k.a. Nora Jean Bruso, a Chicago Blues vocalist who Koko Taylor declared is "One of the new upcoming women that’s singing the real blues."

Oscar Wilson is the vocalist with the Cash Box Kings, a Chicago Blues group who specialise in Chicago Blues from the 1940s and 50s, as well as Delta Blues style music from the 20s and 30s.

Giles Robson is a multi award winning blues harmonica virtuoso and is the only European artist to sign with Chicago's Alligator Records. He is only one of 3 UK blues artists alongside Eric Clapton and Peter Green to win a coveted Blues Music Award in Memphis.
