"Kurt Crandall shines like a diamond on his latest release, mixing Windy City blues, West Coast swing, jazz and more – showing why experts consider him to be one of the most stylish chromatic [harmonica] players in the world today." - CHICAGO BLUES GUIDE

The personal and musical journey of vocalist, harmonica player, and songwriter Kurt Crandall has taken him from Maine to Virginia, Kansas City, Washington DC, Atlanta, Chicago, Seattle and now back to Virginia. With a healthy inspiration from the brilliance of the late, great William Clarke, Crandall has established his own voice as a master of jump, jive, swing and deep blues, a purveyor of fat-toned, inventive and relentlessly swinging chromatic and diatonic harp, and a composer of originality, humor and keen powers of observation.

Crandall leavens the jazziness of his approach including enough savvy musical quotations to punch any listener's Hip Card with the timeless and powerful grit of down home blues. Whether it's solid 1950s Windy City blues grooves or jazz-inflected west coast swing, it's all done with taste, class, easy prowess, bounteous smiles and listening variety along the way.

During his tenure in Chicago, Crandall landed on the regular rotation at the House of Blues, Shaw's Crabhouse, Andy's Jazz Club, Wise Fools Pub and Smoke Daddy and played with blues heavyweights Dave Specter, Kenny Smith, Barrelhouse Chuck and Jimmy Sutton.
