The Walkin' Blues Band plays from several styles of Blues music with a strong influence from the 'Chicago Blues' of the 1920's, '30's, and '40's as well as modern blues performed by artists such as BB King and Paul Butterfield. The blues were an urban sound that began to incorporate electrically amplified instruments, artists like Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Willie Dixon, and Sonny Boy Williamson cranked up the volume and created the template for Rock & Roll.
Little Walter, who played for a period with Muddy Waters, discovered the sound of playing a harmonica through a tube guitar amp. The harmonica played in this manner continues to be a strong solo instrument in Blues today. Here are some links for further reading - enjoy!
