The Blues come to The Buttonwood Tree! In a special performance by Chicago’s master slide guitarist and blues harpist, Studebaker John is joined by Liviu Pop, a Hartford-based drummer who is known for his versatility in music styles and captivating soulfulness, recently inducted into the
CT Blues Hall of Fame.

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 (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 recycling 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 has never simply wanted to rehash blues classics. Throughout his career, he has striven to capture the creativity and emotional power of the genre's masters by writing his own original blues. -- Daily Record
