with Special Guest Jackie Scott and the Housewreckers
Ronnie Baker Brooks is the son of blues rocking, Alligator Records recording star Lonnie Brooks. He first stepped on stage when he was nine years old, playing with Lonnie at Pepper's Lounge in Chicago. Ronnie recalls, "Dad told me if I learned to play 'Messin' With the Kid' and 'Reconsider Baby', he would allow me to perform with him on stage to celebrate my birthday." Ronnie did learn the songs, performed with his dad, captured the heart of the audience and was bitten by the blues bug.
Ronnie joined Lonnie's band full-time in 1986, and has grown to be an accomplished guitarist, singer and songwriter. Until he struck out as a solo in January, 1999, Ronnie opened his Dad's live gigs with a blistering set of his own and closed each show playing a few acoustic numbers with Lonnie. He made the jump to permanent solo status after a New Years Eve gig (December 31, 1998) at Buddy Guy's Legends in Chicago. Ronnie has jammed on stage with many blues giants such as Albert Collins, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Luther Allison, and Buddy Guy. Ronnie Baker Brooks' electrifying live performances will appeal to all music lovers.
