John Primer has undisputedly helped build the sound and style of Chicago blues as we know it today.
After winning two major Blues Music Awards (BMA) last May, Primer shows no signs of slowing down as he brings his The Real Deal Blues Band to the Reading Blues Fest.
At the BMAs, Primer was named Traditional Blues Male Artists of the Year -- and won the Traditional Blues Album of the Year with John Corritore (Crawlin’ Kingsnake).
The echoes of tradition bellowing from the birthplaces he played such as Maxwell Street, Theresa's, Checkerboard and Rosa's Lounges, pulse from every chord in his fingers today.
As the bandleader and lead guitarist for Jr. Wells & Sammy Lawhorn, Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Magic Slim & The Teardrops, John Primer's virtuosity as a blues musician was forged by legends.
Three-time Grammy nominated artist and American blues legend, Primer was the bandleader and guitarist for Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, and Magic Slim & The Teardrops.
Having played or recorded with a who's who of blues greats including Junior Wells, Gary Clark Jr., Derek Trucks, Johnny Winter, The Rolling Stones and Buddy Guy to name a few, Primer's personal accolades, including a Lifetime Achievement Award, reflect his countless contributions to the history of Chicago blues.
There are very few fans, critics or musicians who will deny the fact that John Primer is the real deal.
