Kevin Purcell grew up steeped in Chicago blues and inspired by the musicians who played it. But as his career in music broadened, he developed a deep respect for the southern sounds heard in early country and electric blues. The similarities in the sound were compelling, mainly because the early blues in Chicago had all come from the south. As a harmonica player and lead singer, he became very interested in pursing the legacy of southern music. Soon he was hooked on all the different styles: bluegrass, Cajun funk, zydeco, boogie, and the instruments; dobro, fiddle, mandolin, harmonica, and then there's the songs..Kevin blends all these components together to create a rich tapestry of sounds, from southern country blues, delta blues, cajun rythmns and Chicago boogie for an unforgettable show with a deep love for the music. Years of playing has earned Purcell a reputation as a smokin’ harmonica player, a powerful vocalist, and a respected songwriter. As a captivating frontman, Kevin Purcell welds the gritty, back alley sounds of Chicago blues with the back roads soul of southern music.
