Soul never sounded so delicious. And the blues never sounded so profound…one of today’s top live performers.”– BLUES BLAST MAGAZINE\nChicago guitarist\, vocalist and songwriter and multiple Blues Music Award-winner Ronnie Baker Brooks is one of the city’s—and the world’s—most undeniably talented and electrifying bluesmen. Ronnie was born into Chicago blues royalty as the son of legendary multiple GRAMMY Award nominee\, Blues Hall Of Famer\, and longtime Alligator Records recording star Lonnie Brooks. He is among the few contemporary blues artists who learned his craft directly from many of the genre’s icons\, including Albert Collins\, B.B. King\, Willie Dixon\, Koko Taylor and\, most significantly\, his father. “I’m blessed to have played with and learned from the best. I’m carrying them within me\,” he says of all the legends he knew growing up and the journey he’s been on.\nWith his new Blues Music Award-winning Alligator Records debut\, Blues In My DNA\, Ronnie delivers an up-to-the-minute\, organic masterpiece. The album\, the fifth of his career\, is firmly rooted in the blues with Ronnie incorporating his own brand of rock\, funk and soul to the mix. “I just play what I feel\,” he says. “It’s all from the heart.” Produced by famed studio wizard Jim Gaines (who has produced Santana\, Stevie Ray Vaughan\, Lonnie Brooks\, Luther Allison and many others)\, Blues In My DNA is a career-defining statement from Baker Brooks\, with each of the 11 original songs its own chapter in his ever-evolving story.\nBlues In My DNA effortlessly moves from the funkified rocker I’m Feeling You to the not-quite-sanctified\, old-school blues Robbing Peter To Pay Paul to the deep Memphis soul ballad Accept My Love to the epic\, crowd-pleasing\, guitar-driven Stuck On Stupid. The autobiographical title track\, a song Ronnie describes as “a bridge between me and my audience\,” is the album’s centerpiece\, the passionate guitar solos underlining the lyrics’ story of triumphing over racism\, poverty and glass ceilings. “I ain’t complaining\,” he sings\, “I’m just explaining\,” before declaring\, “I got love in my blood\, the blues in my DNA.”\nFor his efforts Ronnie took home three 2025 Blues Music Awards\, presented by the Blues Foundation: Contemporary Blues Artist Of The Year (Male); Contemporary Blues Album Of The Year (for Blues In My DNA); and Song Of The Year for the title track. AllMusic said\, “Blues in My DNA is in a class of its own—resonant\, sophisticated\, and soulful.” Chicago’s WGN-TV declared\, “Ronnie Baker Brooks is one of the most electrifying blues guitarists in the world.”\nFor Ronnie\, the process of writing songs for Blues In My DNA was as fun and exciting as playing live. “I love writing as much as performing. I love watching an idea become a song\, then a song become something people can relate to\, and then sing along with. And I always keep it authentic to myself. Everyone can feel it and be familiar with it. I’m here to build bridges\, not walls.”\nRonnie Baker Brooks was born in 1967 in Chicago. He received his first guitar from his famous father at age nine and learned the instrument as he got older\, sharing his time between playing basketball and focusing on his music. After high school\, he joined his father’s band—as a roadie. He earned his way slowly up the ladder\, listening\, watching and learning. At one show\, Koko Taylor pulled him aside as he was loading the gear into the van and told him\, “You learn from your daddy everything you can. And one day\, it’ll be up to you to carry the blues forward.”\nLonnie eventually allowed Ronnie to play bass with the band before bringing him on as his full-time second guitarist. Ronnie made his recording debut on Lonnie’s Live From Chicago: Bayou Lightning Strikes album in 1988. In 1991\, he hit the road as part of The Alligator Records 20th Anniversary Tour band\, backing Lonnie\, Elvin Bishop\, and Katie Webster. Each night\, he’d join them\, along with Koko Taylor and Lil’ Ed Williams\, for unforgettable blues jams.\nIn the summer of 1993\, Ronnie joined Lonnie\, Koko and Junior Wells for the B.B. King Blues Festival Tour\, traveling the country. He watched King perform again and again. One night after the show\, King told Ronnie\, “Son\, I’m watching you watch me. You learn everything you can from all of us\, especially your dad. He’s as good as me or better; we just have di!erent styles.” Ronnie performed with his father for 12 years\, gaining valuable experience and sharing stages with artists including Taj Mahal\, Eric Clapton\, Buddy Guy\, and many others. During this time\, his guitar skills continued to grow along with his songwriting and performing confidence.\nAmong the many lessons Ronnie learned growing up was to forge his own identity\, to write his own songs\, to play his own brand of blues and not to imitate anyone else. Willie Dixon taught him the importance of “delivering” the song\, so the people know you believe it. Albert Collins\, almost a second father to Ronnie\, would say\, “Take what you like from what we do and make it you.”\nIn 1998\, when the time was right and with Lonnie’s blessing\, Baker Brooks formed his own label\, Watchdog Records\, and released three solo albums over the next eight years: Golddigger in 1998\, Take Me Witcha in 2001\, and The Torch in 2006. On all three releases\, Ronnie worked with and learned countless studio and production lessons from JellyBean Johnson (Prince\, The Time)\, with positive response to Ronnie’s music coming from Prince himself.\nIn 2008\, Ronnie produced and played on blues legend Eddy Clearwater’s Alligator debut\, West Side Strut\, helping to bring one of his mentors to a new generation of fans. His next solo album\, 2017’s\, Times Have Changed\, was produced by drummer Steve Jordan (The Rolling Stones\, Robert Cray) and issued on the Provogue label. The UK’s Record Collector magazine said\, “Baker Brooks plays a heady blend of blues\, soul and funk…an upbeat cocktail of guts\, groove\, stinging guitar work and soulful vocals.” The Blues Foundation has recognized Ronnie’s talent with a total of six Blues Music Award nominations.\nAmong his many blues and soul mentors and friends\, Ronnie has also worked closely with rocker Todd Park Mohr of Big Head Todd & The Monsters. The two friends have written\, toured and recorded together\, with Mohr and Brooks co-writing All True Man for Blues In My DNA.\nSince he was a teen\, Ronnie has toured the world\, first with his dad and then leading his own band. He’s built his reputation as a white-hot performer one gig at a time. His eye-popping guitar work\, soulful vocals\, fireball energy and huge\, crowd-pleasing personality keep his fans on the edge of their seats. In addition to performing at both Obama presidential inaugurations\, he has played major festivals and concert halls across the U.S.\, Canada\, the UK and Europe\, as well as in Brazil and China. He’s appeared at Poland’s Rawa Blues Festival\, Spain’s Cazorla Blues Festival\, Canada’s Mt. Tremblant Festival\, The Tampa Bay Blues Festival\, Memphis In May\, The North Atlantic Blues Festival\, The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival\, and many more. In 2024\, Ronnie\, along with his friend and label-mate Shemekia Copeland\, opened the famous Chicago Blues Festival (the 4th time he’s appeared as a headliner)\, with a roof-raising performance. Then\, four days later\, he helped close the festival out—along with Copeland\, his guitarist brother Wayne Baker Brooks and harmonica giant Billy Branch—joining headliner Buddy Guy at Buddy’s request.\nLike all the great blues artists before him\, Ronnie Baker Brooks has\, through hard work\, perseverance and gritty determination—along with his prodigious\, natural talent and charisma—earned his place in the upper echelons of the blues world. Today\, Ronnie Baker Brooks stands tall as a blisteringly innovative guitarist\, an endlessly inventive songwriter and an intensely soulful vocalist.\nRonnie Baker Brooks may have been born a blues prince\, but he never received any royal treatment. “Dad set me up for today\,” Ronnie explains. “He always told me to put the time in\, study\, practice\, get better. I started my music career as his roadie. He wouldn’t let me play onstage with him until I earned it\, and until he was certain playing music was what I truly wanted to do. I grew up witnessing and learning from the legends of the blues. I’m excited to continue to create Chicago blues as part of my family legacy and our shared history. I’ll always carry on and represent the blues in everything I do. Dad started the fire\, Albert poured the gas on it\, and Koko put the grill on.” Now\, with Blues In My DNA\, it’s time to feast.\n“A monster guitarist with an ample supply of technique and passion.”– ALL MUSIC\n“Ronnie Baker Brooks bristles with energy\, inspiration and self-confidence.”– LIVING BLUES\nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n Pinterest\n \n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n Like this:Like Loading… URL:https://cnyalive.com/calendar/ronnie-baker-brooks/ LOCATION:Fanatics Pub Lima\, 7281 Main St.\, Lima\, NY\, 14485\, United States CATEGORIES:Bar Gig,Blues Event,Events,Live Music,Music Event GEO:42.9049307;-77.6127549 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Fanatics Pub Lima 7281 Main St. Lima NY 14485 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=7281 Main St.:geo:-77.6127549,42.9049307 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260201T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260201T170000 DTSTAMP:20260529T134551 CREATED:20260128T175156Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260128T175156Z UID:10025237-1769958000-1769965200@cnyalive.com SUMMARY:Tangled Roots DESCRIPTION:If we had a house blues band\, this would be it!

Working with producer\, songwriter Eric Corne for the past 3 albums\, the soul-blues powerhouse has crafted an incendiary sound and narrative\, combining classic soul melodies and funky R & B grooves with raw blues power.\nThe pair’s first collaboration\, Somebody Save Me\, earned Rayford a 2020 Grammy nomination. Later that year he took home Blues Music Awards for ‘Soul Blues Male Artist’ and ‘B.B. King Entertainer of the Year.’ Rayford’s follow up In Too Deep won a plethora of awards including the Blues Music Award for ‘Soul Blues Album of the Year’.\nRayford’s new release is entitled ‘Human Decency’. The title track is a simple reminder that our similarities are stronger than our differences and in the end\, there is no black or white or left or right\, there are only hearts and minds.\nAbout the leadoff single\, “Run For Cover” a song that takes no prisoners\, Q Magazine declares\, “The bluesey soul of Rayford comes on full steam with this powerhouse single.”\n“We’re calling people on their bullshit but we’re having fun with them.

He effortlessly cross-pollinates genres and unfurls solos that broil with passion in his distinctive\, signature style. Throughout his prolific career as part of three of the greatest live groups in rock history – Allman Brothers Band\, Gov’t Mule and the Dead – and an acclaimed solo artist\, he has become one of music’s most treasured storytellers and his artistry has led to thousands of memorable performances and millions of album and track sales. Haynes is a beacon of creativity and musical excellence that inspires fans as well as fellow musicians\, evidenced by the diverse array of artists that he has performed and recorded with\, including Dave Matthews Band\, Peter Frampton\, Chris Stapleton\, Coheed and Cambria\, Dave Grohl\, Carlos Santana\, Willie Nelson\, and Dolly Parton\, and many more.

Born into a family steeped in gospel tradition\, Ruthie’s earliest influences were the voices of her mother\, grandmother\, and the gospel singers she grew up listening to — artists like the Gospel Keynotes and the Blind Boys of Alabama. However\, her path to becoming a solo artist wasn’t a straightforward one. Despite a deep love for music\, Ruthie initially shied away from the spotlight\, preferring to play guitar\, piano\, and write songs for others. \nGrowing up in the rich musical tapestry of Gause\, Texas\, Ruthie found herself drawn to the diverse sounds and arrangements of local gospel choirs and musicians. Despite her reluctance to take center stage\, Ruthie’s talent was undeniable\, and her mother encouraged her to step up and sing out. She stood out as a young black girl with a guitar in a choir scene dominated by pianos\, but with her grandmother’s vocal coaching and encouragement from her mother and the church community\, she recognized her own power — as a songwriter\, a musician\, and as a captivating singer. \nAfter studying music at a community college in Waco\, Ruthie decided to take a break from music and enlist in the Navy. The stage drew her once more\, and she was selected to sing for the Navy band Pride\, where she honed her skills as a vocalist and performer. A development deal with Atlantic Records led her to New York City\, where she immersed herself in the songwriting community and learned the craft of writing songs that spoke to the soul. \nHowever\, Ruthie’s journey took a turn when her mother fell ill\, prompting her to step back from music and return to Texas once again. It was a period of introspection\, caregiving\, and deep bonding with her mother\, and upon her return to writing and performing\, it was to shape her voice as a singer-songwriter and storyteller. Drawing on her experiences and her musical roots\, she began to craft blues\, folk\, and gospel-tinged songs that spoke to the universal themes of love\, loss\, and resilience. \nTurning down a major record deal in pursuit of authenticity\, she has stayed true to herself and her vision as an artist\, signing with independent label Blue Corn Music to release Runaway Soul in 2002\, followed by The Phenomenal Ruthie Foster in 2007\, The Truth According to Ruthie Foster in 2009\, Let It Burn in 2012\, Promise of a Brand New Day in 2014\, Joy Comes Back in 2017\, and Healing Time in 2022.

Inspired by a time when the Blues were plentiful and rhythm reigned supreme\, Jontavious leverages his unique sound—a synthesis of his Georgia heritage and reverence for traditional Blues—to get the world dancing again. A Grammy-nominated musician and songwriter\, Jontavious performs original\, toe-tapping tunes in the style of Delta\, Piedmont\, Texas\, and Gospel Blues. Dynamic vocals\, technical prowess\, and an abundance of Southern charm keep Jontavious sending jolts of vitality through the Blues community. \nJontavious was born and raised in rural Georgia\, an environment with deep cultural roots that provides the inspiration he has continuously drawn upon to create his unique sound. He spent much of his childhood singing Gospel music at the Mount Pilgrim Baptist Church with his grandfather\, which provided him his first setting to perform for an audience. An early phenom\, his passion for the Blues was sparked at age 14 when he came across a YouTube video of Muddy Waters playing “Hoochie Coochie Man.” He achieved widespread acclaim when living legend Taj Mahal invited Jontavious to accompany him onstage in 2015\, with Taj describing him as his “Wonderboy.” Jontavious was invited to open for Taj Mahal and Keb’ Mo’ during their joint TajMo tour in 2018\, giving him an opportunity to present his work on a national stage. \nBlue Metamorphosis\, his acoustic debut album released in 2016\, garnered rave reviews in Living Blues and Blues & Rhythm and won the Blues Foundation’s International Blues Challenge 2018 Award for Best Self-Produced CD. His Grammy-nominated sophomore album\, Spectacular Class\, sees Jontavious survey an array of Blues styles with lively ensemble performances. \nHis upcoming album\, signed with Strolling Bones Records\, is a testament to his love for songwriting. With solo tracks as well as duo\, trio\, and full band works\, he articulates a totally original take on traditional Blues. \nJontavious features prominently in shows and festivals across the world\, sharing his unique blend of time-honored yet modern\, intellectual yet danceable Blues with all. \n\n\n\n\nTo learn more about Jontavious Willis\, visit his website at jontaviouswillis.com. \n\n\nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n Pinterest\n \n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n Like this:Like Loading… URL:https://cnyalive.com/calendar/jontavious-willis/ LOCATION:Syracuse Blues Fest\, Chevy Court New York State Fair CATEGORIES:Blues Event,Events,Live Music,Music Event GEO:43.0721685;-76.2152313 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Syracuse Blues Fest Chevy Court New York State Fair;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Chevy Court New York State Fair:geo:-76.2152313,43.0721685 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250614T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250614T183000 DTSTAMP:20260529T134551 CREATED:20250611T223629Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250611T223629Z UID:10020494-1749918600-1749925800@cnyalive.com SUMMARY:The Shylocks Duo DESCRIPTION:The Shylocks Duo grease the Acoustic Stage in between performances by Jontavius Willis\, Ruthie Foster & Warren Haynes Band.2 sets @ 4:30-4:50 + 6:15-6:35pm \nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n Pinterest\n \n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n Like this:Like Loading… URL:https://cnyalive.com/calendar/the-shylocks-duo-8/ LOCATION:New York State Fairgrounds\, 581 State Fair Blvd.\, Syracuse\, NY\, 13209\, United States CATEGORIES:Blues Event,Live Music,Music Event,Outdoor Events GEO:43.0728112;-76.2163686 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=New York State Fairgrounds 581 State Fair Blvd. Syracuse NY 13209 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=581 State Fair Blvd.:geo:-76.2163686,43.0728112 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250614T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250614T173000 DTSTAMP:20260529T134551 CREATED:20250613T175717Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250613T175717Z UID:10020517-1749918600-1749922200@cnyalive.com SUMMARY:The Shylocks Duo DESCRIPTION:The Shylocks Duo cut a wide path across Texas\, Delta\, Chicago\, Piedmont & Swamp regional styles offering audiences a unique crossover to traditional & modern blues music. 300+ performances & 7 years in the rear view mirror help create a veritable gumbo of greasy acoustic blues. \n\n\n\n\nTo learn more about The Shylocks\, visit their website at theshylocksband.com. \n\n\nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n Pinterest\n \n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n Like this:Like Loading… URL:https://cnyalive.com/calendar/the-shylocks-duo-9/ LOCATION:Syracuse Blues Fest\, Chevy Court New York State Fair CATEGORIES:Blues Event,Events,Live Music,Music Event,Outdoor Events GEO:43.0721685;-76.2152313 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Syracuse Blues Fest Chevy Court New York State Fair;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Chevy Court New York State Fair:geo:-76.2152313,43.0721685 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
