Chicago
guitarist, vocalist, 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, 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.
