Bobby Rush:
“After decades of tearing up the chitlin’ circuit on a nightly basis with his sweaty, no-holds-barred funkfests, Bobby has thoroughly broken through to the mainstream.” (Glide Magazine) In his 50-plus years in the music business, Bobby has achieved legendary status as an entertainer. “He’s produced almost 400 records. He’s now 88 years old, and he still performs about 200 shows a year. A bluesman is what he calls himself.” (NPR) To date Bobby has earned 12 Blues Music Awards (including a 2017 Grammy) and 48 nominations, including the prestigious B.B. King Entertainer of the Year Award and Album of the Year.
