The personal and musical journey of vocalist, harmonica player, and songwriter Kurt Crandall has taken him from Maine to Virginia, Kansas City, Washington DC, Atlanta, Chicago, Seattle and now back to Virginia. With a healthy inspiration from the brilliance of the late, great William Clarke, Crandall has established his own voice as a master of jump, jive, swing and deep blues, a purveyor of fat-toned, inventive and relentlessly swinging chromatic and diatonic harp, and a composer of originality, humor and keen powers of observation. Crandall leavens the jazziness of his approach including enough savvy musical quotations to punch any listener's Hip Card with the timeless and powerful grit of down home blues. Whether it's solid 1950s Windy City blues grooves or jazz-inflected west coast swing, it's all done with taste, class, easy prowess, bounteous smiles and listening variety along the way.
