Studebaker John selfmademanpreview.jpg (144040 bytes) 

What they say about Studebaker John:

"John captures the raw energy and grit of the classic blues musicians but pumped up to a rocking energy level. He has a deep understanding of the blues tradition that comes from hanging with the classic Chicago bluesmen, but he's created his own sound and style from these roots." -- Bruce Iglauer (Owner, Alligator Records)

"Dedicated to the vintage sounds of Chi-town in the golden age of the '50's on guitar and harp, he is no retro man recyling worn out standards. He makes original music that is both timeless and relevant." -- David Rubin (Guitar One Magazine)

His raw amplified canonical work recalls past masters like Little Walter and Big Walter Horton, while his slide guitar style is descended from the styles of Elmore James and Hound Dog Taylor. On top of that Studebaker John is a powerful vocalist and talented songwriter. -- Chicago Tribune

"Studebaker John is a gem! His new CD, Between Life & Death, is chock full of good new songs - "I Deceive Myself, ""Cold Chills," "If I Had A Nickel," "That's Why I'm Living," to mention just a few. See him live if you can." -- Michael Dixon (Contributor, MusicHound Blues: The Essential Album Guide; former Blues Director, WRBC)
