Born in MS on sharecropper land, John Primer migrated to Chicago in 1963 with a dream of
performing with Muddy Waters.
He got his start at Maxwell Street playing for tips with Pat Rushing’s band, then getting hired at
the famous Theresa’s Lounge as a lead guitarist for the great Junior Wells and Sammy Lawhorn.
He was taught here by all the legendary bluesmen.
From here he was noticed by Willie Dixon. After going on tour with Willie, Muddy Waters
noticed him and took John as his bandleader fulfilling his lifelong dream! After Muddy’s
untimely death John went to work with Magic Slim as a Teardrop for the next 13 years.
John was signed by Atlantic Records in 1995 and went out independently with his own Real
Deal Blues Band. He has his own Blues House Productions record label and tours all over the
world. He is truly one of the very last real deal, traditional, bluesmen alive today!
John Primer is a Blues Hall of Fame Artist with 3 Grammy Award Nominations. He won
numerous awards including 3 Lifetime Achievement Awards, 3 Blues Music Awards and a Jus
Blues Award for being a Blues Icon.
