Johnny Fury Band (USA)

No matter what kind of guitar lands in his hands, this Texas bluesman always makes it sing. Add in his vocal and song-writing skills, and he's a triple-threat talent. On Johnny Fury II (released 2018), Fury shows his prowess in soul and rock as well as blues, with a smooth, well-nuanced tenor capable of delivering splintering blues and affecting ballads with equal finesse. In September 2018, he opened for Grammy Award Winning Blues icon Buddy Guy in Columbus, Ohio. He's already impressed industry critics too.
