Blues Hall of Famer, 3x-GRAMMY® Award Nominee, 5x-Blues Music Award Winner and 17x-Blues Music Award Nominated Blues Singer & Guitarist JOHN PRIMER is a Chicago Blues Living Legend. THE CHICAGO READER states, “John Primer is a living link to the departed giants of Chicago blues. The veteran guitarist and singer learned his trade from the likes of Sammy Lawhorn, Muddy Waters, and Magic Slim.” John paid his dues and in 1995 he began leading his own band, The Real Deal Blues Band. He has been recorded on more than 100 albums with 17 albums in his own name. He has written and produced more than 55 songs on more than 6 record labels. “If you’re unaware…Primer’s lineage is staggering. Before striking out on his own in 1995, he was the band leader for Jr. Wells, Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, and Magic Slim. So, he’s had the best mentors and he continues to carry the torch,” says GLIDE MAGAZINE.
