Summary: Rockin’ Johnny Burgin is incredibly passionate a about performing. He resides in the San Francisco Bay area, but came up as a blues player performing in the west side Chicago blues scene. In his early 20's, he was played west side black clubs where he says watching bands was like watching a boxing match, a place where musical phrasing came to life. We talk about his latest album Neoprene Fedora, his 8 year hiatus, why the stage is so important to him, and why musicians shouldn't have cell phones on stage.
