Boise Blues Society presents Studebaker John
Legendary slide guitar and blues harp artist Studebaker John (Grimaldi) returns to Boise in support of his 18th album of all-original material, Eternity's Descent. Boise Blues Society last sponsored Studebaker John at the Sapphire Room in the fall of 2014.
Studebaker John is among those who were fortunate to learn the Blues trade from the Chicago legends the rest of us read about. Grimaldi grew up in Chicago listening to Chicago Blues and still makes his living there doing what he does best, playing slide guitar and harmonica with his band of many years, The Hawks (named after the Studebaker Hawk he still owns today).
Not too many living Bluesmen can say they saw or played with or knew the legends of Chicago Blues. John mentions Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, Big Walter, Little Walter, Muddy Waters, Elmore James, Albert King, Paul Butterfield, Mike Bloomfield and many others in casual conversation. Hes not being pretentious; he was merely in the right place at the right time in his life. (Blues Blast Magazine)
