On the Air with Christopher Wyze 

Nothing better than getting to play the blues on live television!!! I got to join Christopher Wyze to play songs of the upcoming NAPTOWN BLUES album! 

The new album is out this week! 

 

Naptown Blues 

Hey friends! It's been a summer of special projects and one is coming out into the world today.  Check the first single from Christopher Wyze & the Tellers' new project Naptown Blues, featuring yours truly on guitar. 

 

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Big Radio Records artist Christopher Wyze & The Tellers returns with his new single, “I’m Going Back To Tennessee,” available today. The first release from his forthcoming album, Naptown Blues, “I’m Going Back to Tennessee” was originally released in 1929 by Indianapolis blues artists Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell. This release sets the stage for a powerful 11-song project that pays tribute to the rich blues history of Indianapolis, Indiana, and the songs of the city’s once-famed blues recording stars Carr and Blackwell. The duo’s groundbreaking work helped establish Indianapolis as an influential force in the blues genre. And now, with his forthcoming album, Wyze looks to honor their legacy while bringing his band’s voice and perspective to their music, a sound that shaped the city’s musical and cultural history.
