Led by Corey Dennison’s soulful voice and muscular guitar, the band released two albums for the legendary Delmark Records in 2016 and 2017 after honing 21 original songs night after night on the bandstand. Corey’s decade-long stint with Carl Weathersby and Gerry Hundt’s tenure with Nick Moss are evident but blend effortlessly into a dynamic new Chicago sound, anchored by Aaron Whittier and drummer Rick King. Critics and radio polls responded favorably as the albums garnered glowing reviews and constant worldwide airplay, netting chart positions on the Roots Music and Living Blues Radio Reports.   Nominations followed suit, with nods for Best Emerging Artist and Best Contemporary Blues Album from the Blues Music Awards, a pair from Blues Blast Magazine, and Grammy balloting. The strength of the band’s repertoire is matched only by the charisma of the stage show; it’s not uncommon to see Corey belting out the blues, unamplified, in the heart of the audience while the band steps in time to the groove. It’s not novelty for these musicians and entertainers, however, it’s exactly where they want to be. \n\n\n\nCOREY DENNISON\n\n\n\nBorn in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Corey Dennison spent a majority of his childhood moving about Tennessee and Georgia. As a young boy, Corey heard the powerful, soulful sounds of the Blues on late night radio programs and recalls being captivated by the music. He received his first guitar at the age of 6 and began to imitate the music of artists such as Gatemouth Brown, Albert Collins and Albert King. Corey immediately felt a strong connection to Soul music. “I just loved the way Soul music made me feel from my head to my toes. I remember humming along to songs from Wilson Pickett, Curtis Mayfield & Sam Cooke.” This marked a lasting impression on his musical style and is clearly visible today in his soulful vocals and fiery guitar solos.  Corey found his musical calling while hanging out with his harp playing uncle. “My Uncle snuck me into clubs where I saw some of the greatest Blues cats of all-time, Albert King, Albert Collins and Junior Wells. This is where it became clear to me; I wanted to be a Blues Man.” He spent 12 years honing his skills as a sideman for Carl Weathersby, a mentor beyond the music: ” Pop has really showed me the real me and have helped me in a lot of ways. Showed me what to do, what not to do. I wouldn’t know anything if it was not for Carl and my brothers-in-arms.” Playing with Weathersby blessed Corey with opportunities to share the stage with such musical greats as The Kinsey Report, Robert Blaine, Chico Banks, The Steepwater Band, Jimmy Johnson, Robert Randolph, Derek Trucks And John Mayer, Gerry Hundt, Nick Moss, Lurrie Bell, Carlos Johnson and the Buddah of Bass, Mr. Bill Dickens, and Buddy Guy.\n\n\n\nhttps://chicagobluesagency.com/artist/billy-flynn/ ( https://chicagobluesagency.com/artist/billy-flynn/ )\n\n\n\nBilly Flynn\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGuitarist/VocalistGrammy Award-Winning ArtistChicago Blues Guitar Legend\n\n\n\nBilly Flynn boasts an illustrious career in the realm of Chicago blues, marked by passion and exceptional talent. He began at the age of 14 when he first encountered the legendary Jimmy Dawkins in Green Bay, Wisconsin, mesmerized by the sounds emanating from a nearby blues club. Just five years later, in 1975, Dawkins invited Billy to join him on the road, leading him to perform with The Southside Blues All-Stars alongside luminaries such as Eddie Shaw, Hubert Sumlin, Jimmy Dawkins, and Junior Wells.\n\n\n\nWith an impressive discography that spans over 70 recordings, Billy has collaborated with renowned artists including Otis Rush, Deitra Farr, Billy Boy Arnold, Willie “Big Eyes” Smith, Kenny Smith, Pinetop Perkins, Willie Kent, Kim Wilson, Barrelhouse Chuck, James Wheeler, Bob Stroger, The Cash Box Kings, Chicago Blues A Living History Band, Bob Corritore, Demetria Taylor, Mud Morganfield, and many more.\n\n\n\nA six-time Grammy nominee and two-time Grammy winner, Flynn earned accolades for his outstanding guitar work on Beyoncé’s 2009 R&B Song of the Year, “At Last.” His guitar artistry has also been featured as the signature sound of Muddy Waters and Chuck Berry in the Grammy-nominated soundtrack for the film *Cadillac Records. Notably, Billy served as a backing guitarist for the “Howling For Hubert” tribute at the Apollo Theater, sharing the stage with icons such as Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Elvis Costello, Kim Wilson, Billy Gibbons, and Steve Jordan.\n\n\n\nBilly Flynn has graced the stages of the world’s most prestigious blues festivals, including the Chicago Blues Fest, King Biscuit Festival, San Francisco Blues Festival, Lucerne Blues Festival (Switzerland), Montreux Jazz Festival (Switzerland), Cognac’s Blues Passion (France), Eutin (Germany), Notodden (Norway), and Bellinzona (Italy). He is a proud inductee of the Wisconsin Music Association’s Hall of Fame and a distinguished member of the Chicago Blues Hall of Fame.\n
