Blues singer, harmonica player and guitarist Kevin Burt has proven that Iowa can produce great blues performers.
He gives concerts throughout the Midwest and beyond, and his style has been compared to Bill Withers and Aaron Neville.
In the 2018 International Blues Challenge, Burt took first place in the Solo/Duo category and won the Cigar Box Guitar Award for best solo/duo guitarist and the Lee Oskar Award for best harmonica player. Burt’s debut album, “Heartland and Soul” was nominated in 2019 for a BMA in the Best Emerging Artist Album category.
His 2020 album, “Stone Crazy,” on the Gulf Coast Records label, has nine original songs and a cover of Bill Withers’ “Better Off Dead.”
