Living Blues #242 (April/May 2016) features the King of Beale Street, Preston Shannon on the cover. Shannon holds court two to three nights a week at various clubs at the famed blues destination. Chicago harp player Harmonica Hinds took the unlikely path from Trinidad to Canada to Chicago, but with the help of James Cotton and an apartment around the block from Theresa’s, he gained recognition on the Chicago scene. The daughter of Memphis bluesman Dr. Feelgood Potts, Sheba Potts-Wright has made her own mark on the southern soul scene. Mentored by Quinn Golden and Denise LaSalle, Potts-Wright has developed a distinctive style and a first-class live show. Washington D.C.–based bluesman Clarence Turner survived the mean streets of his hometown to become a powerful guitar player and songwriter. A young man, a camera and the bustling blues scene of Chicago in the early 1970s is the subject of a photo essay of never before published pictures. The 2016 Living Blues Festival Guide is included in this issue as well as Breaking Out with newcomer Jontavious Willis, over 40 reviews, Blues News and the latest blues radio charts.
