Kurt Crandall & True Story

“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 players in the world today. ”

— CHICAGO BLUES GUIDE

Kurt Crandall brings a lifetime of blues-soaked road miles to the stage, drawing on chapters lived in Maine, Virginia, Kansas City, Washington, DC, Atlanta, Chicago, Seattle and now back home in Virginia. Inspired by the late William Clarke yet unmistakably himself, he’s a master of jump, jive, swing and deep blues, delivering fat-toned, inventive chromatic and diatonic harmonica, soulful vocals, and original songs full of humor and sharp observation.

Crandall’s sets move effortlessly from solid 1950s Windy City grooves to jazz-inflected West Coast swing, all seasoned with hip musical quotes, down-home grit, and a relaxed, good-time feel. Expect taste, class, easy virtuosity and plenty of smiles from first note to last
