   About Shun Kikuta
Hello everyone,

Thanks for checking myspace/guitarshun.
Please let me introduce myself briefly.

I was born and grew up in a suburb of Tokyo called Utsunomiya, Japan and I have been playing the guitar since I was 10.
Now I am residing in The States for 22 years and 18 years in Chicagoland.

Since I moved to The States, I have been extremely lucky to have opportunities to perform or record with such blues ,R&B and jazz legends as B.B.King, Koko Taylor, Junior Wells, Otis Rush, Buddy Guy, Magic Slim, Robert Lockwood Jr, Pinetop Perkins, Billy Branch, Bo Diddley, Irma Thomas, James Cotton, Hubert Sumlin, Lonnie Brooks, Johnny & Shemekia Copeland, Tyrone Davis, Buddy Miles, Kenny Wayne Sheppard, Brian McNight, J.W Williams, Son Seals, Louis and Dave Myers, Otis Clay, Jimmie Johnson, Eddy"The Chief"Clearwater, Eddie Shaw, John Primer, Big Time Sarah, Tommy McCracken, Johnny Little John, Nellie"Tiger"Travis, Lurrie Bell, Carl Weathersby, Ronnie and Wayne Baker Brooks, Chicao Banks, Rico McFarland, Chick Rogers, Marva Wright, Deborah Coleman, Marcia Ball, Roy Hargrove, Mark Whitfield and Mark Turner.

Currently I am a member of Koko Taylor's Blues Machine , J.W Williams and The Chi Town Hustlers and Mt Moriah Baptist Church Band.

Here are what the presses have said about me.

"Shogun of the blues"
__ Asia Wall Street Journal (Hong Kong)

" Digging into the strings of his Fender Telecaster, Shunsuke Kikuta channels the crying vibrato of B.B.King one minute and the piercing attack of Albert Collins the next"
__ Chicago Tribune (U.S.A)

"Shun Kikuta, a fine Japanese guitarist who has absorbed the classic Chicago sounds and play them with the feel and confidence.
__ Blues & Rhythm (United Kingdom)

"Shun Kikuta, an impressive young Japanese guitarist"
__ Living Blues (U.S.A)

You can check my biography, discography and live schedules on my web site at,
www.shunkikuta.com

You also can check my story by Mark Guarino on Daily Herald

I was also introduced on the book More Blues Singers from page 250 to 254.

Again, thanks so much to visit my page and hope to see you somewhere in the near future!
