WHAT’S INSIDE TODAY’S BLUES

What are the top albums, singers, and blues singers today? Well, we have blues singers today like Toronzo Cannon. Bluesman Toronzo Cannon and his band The Chicago Way will perform live at Mojo’s Boneyard in Evansville on Saturday, Oct. 15, 2022.

Toronzo Cannon, an electric blues guitarist. He’s a vocalist and songwriter. He grew up on the South side of Chicago near the Robert Taylor Homes and Theresa’s Lounge where he heard blues artists including Buddy Guy and Junior Wells.

Cannon has performed at the Chicago Blues Festival nine times. He headlined in 2015.

The Chicago Tribune said, "Chicago-based Toronzo Cannon, who performed for the first time as a festival headliner, made the most of this opportunity to win over a new audience. His extroverted guitar style sounded especially compelling when he closely engaged with keyboardist Ronnie Hicks' sturdy chord changes. Cannon also has a forceful singing voice, whether narrating an original murder ballad or on his upbeat "Sweet Sweet Sweet."
