Chicago guitarist, vocalist and songwriter 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. 

Since 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. 

With his new 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."
