Chicago style blues in the Big
Easy
A longtime staple of New Orleans' famed Bourbon Street club circuit,
blues guitarist Bryan Lee was born in Wisconsin in 1945. He was inspired
by B.B. King, Albert King and others and his Midwest upbringing also resulted
in a distinctively Chicago-styled sound which his long stay in the South
did little to erase. Billed variously as "The Braille Blues Daddy" and "The
Blind Blues Daddy," Lee first surfaced in New Orleans in 1983, quickly becoming
a favorite of tourists in the city's French Quarter and regularly playing
live at least six nights a week. He currently has five albums available
on CD, including his latest, "Crawfish Lady." |
