Wheatbread Johnson and his international touring band play his own brand of Chicago Blues, a mix of back woods twang and urban rumble wrapped up with wisdom passed on from the windy city's Blues masters. Wheatbread's Blues is for good times and high spirits, not moaning about life's injustice. He has spread this message across Europe and North America playing to crowds of faithful Blues fans and wide eyed converts. Wheatbread Johnson

The sound of Wheatbread's sand and satin voice leaves no doubt that he has lived every word of his songs. Wheatbread plays Blues relevant to the modern world. The love of a good woman, standing up to life's cruelties, and taking time to understand your neighbour are his favorite themes. But, it is Wheatbread's guitar that steals the show every night. He uses the entire guitar to tell his story with big band brass riffs, funky bass-lines and singing single note stings. His 'sold his soul' fretwork and 'Tower of Babel' tone palette leave the most jaded Blues fan screaming for more.

Take some time to find out why the Blues world thinks Wheatbread Johnson is the heir to the Blues throne by checking out the Big Wheel Blues Festival 2004 and you will sing his praises as well.
