   About T-BIRD HUCK Bluesman/Showman
T-Bird Huck’s “triple treat” of soul stirring vocals, sweet-hot guitar & harmonica has been pleasing music lovers across the country for four decades! Deemed by many to be the original “Joliet Jake” (years before the SNL act) This Bluesman/Showman throws down a show to be reckoned with! From Chicago’s early ‘70’s Southside Blues clubs, roadtrips, and local shows. T-Bird has performed, split-the-bill, or jammed with greats: Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, Luther Allison, Otis Rush, Sam Lay, Anson Funderburgh, Sam Meyers, Kid Ramos (former Fab. Thunderbirds guitarist), the Chicago Rhythm & Blues Kings (formerly Big Twist & Mellow Fellows), plus many more . . . T-Bird Huck and his “brother-in-music” Jimmy “Keys” Caleca (8 yrs.) (Hammond B-3 & keyboards) form a veteran partnership. They show how, with their tight rhythm section, musical crèmes rise to the top and overflow the vats with soulful, swingin’ Blues flavored with funky Memphis R&B that’ll have you rockin’ and dancin’ all night long! The testimonial is in the music, nowhere else! “Highbrow” dinner clubs, smoke filled basement bars, or major festivals, listen once and you’ll know. The T-Bird Huck Band: a musical experience you’ll want to revisit often as you can. Bruce Iglauer president/founder of Alligator records (world’s top contemporary Blues label) says of Huck’s CD “Lifetime of Blues” ©2005 (Birdhaus) release: ”I’m impressed with his creativity. Big compliments. A lot to be proud of here. Good solos all around. Harp flows well with fat tone and good control. I like the keyboard player quite a lot. Everyone sounds like they’re having fun.” Also available on CD; “Live!/Smokin’ In the Barn” ©2006 (Birdhaus). Recorded 2006 at “Blues On the Farm” festival Holland, MI. These two great CD’s display Huck’s ability as a vibrant performer who puts a personal stamp on classics and pens originals that stands with the best. T-Bird Huck’s mission statement comes straight from his title track of “Lifetime of Blues”: “I’m gonna give my soul to the music I love, before I have to take it to the man above.” realeditorbest profile toolsrealeditorbest profile tools
