Selected as Blues Harmonica Player of the Year by the Bay Blues Society in 2004, Birdlegg has been blowing the blues in the Bay Area for over 20 years. Fronting a group of great musicians, known as the Tight Fit Blues Band, Birdlegg continues to win over new fans every day by keeping the Blues alive.

While practically every other blues harmonica player of his generation fell under the spell of Little Walter, Birdlegg is, and always was, different. Instead, he was captivated by the generation before Jacobs the one that inspired the virtuoso to completely redefine postwar blues harmonica in the early 1950s.

Harking back to a style reminiscent of two of the greatest early postwar and country blues harmonica players, Sonny Boy Williamson and Sonny Terry, Birdlegg's expressive, full-tilt playing and singing also brings a fresh and distinctive approach to traditional gutbucket blues something that has become all too rare these days.

Gene Pittman aka “Birdlegg” is an experienced bluesman who stands out for his energetic and passionate approach to live music performance. Born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in 1947 and musically raised in the Oakland blues scene, Birdlegg moved to Austin, Texas in 2010 looking for a new twist in his career that would revitalize him personally and artistically. Since then, he has performed innumerable heartfelt shows, earning deep appreciation from fellow musicians and audiences, and establishing himself as a mainstay of the “live music capital of the world”.

Birdlegg has also developed his discographic trajectory and international projection through his association with Eddie Stout, who produced his album Birdlegg (2013), and with whom he has repeatedly toured Sweden, as well as through his more recent tours in Spain (2016) – where he recorded the album The Blues Tornado Live (2016) – and Brazil (2017).

A dedicated singer and harp player, Birdlegg is, above all, an old-school entertainer in the African-American tradition. Inspired by the work and life of influential musicians such as Sonny Boy Williamson II, Sonny Terry, B.B. King, Sonny Rhodes and James Brown, among others, his unique style ranges from country blues to urban blues, funk and rock ‘n’ roll. Yet the key to Birdlegg’s musical act and artistic persona is to be found in his captivating personality, confidence and determination.

An outspoken, humorous and loving bluesman, Birdlegg believes in the power of his own musical voice, and always tries his best to make audiences happy by keeping them involved. After the success of last year’s tour, Birdlegg is coming back to Spain on early June 2017. He will be visiting new cities and venues (Santander, Sala Niágara; Bilbao, Azkena; Valladolid, Sala Porta Caeli; Madrid, Sala Clamores), undoubtedly prepared to offer audiences an intense blues experience marked by his unique delivery, hard work and performing audacity. /Josep Pedro, Blues Vibe

Personnel: Gene "Birdlegg" Pittman (vocals, harmonica); Gabriele Del Vecchio (piano); Luis Guru Carpizo (saxophone); Jay Bee Rodriguez (guitar); Alex Iribas (bass); Alberto San Miguel (drums).

Wow! What a record! After documenting the remaining black music scene in Texas for the past decade or so, label boss Eddie Stout put together a rockin band to back up the artists on this second volume of blues from the Eastside of Austin. The songs range from guitar driven Texas shuffles to covers of classic R&B tunes from the 40's through the 90's. Every performance on this release is high quality, well played and wonderfully sung. The band features veterans Nick Connolly, Eddie Stout & Kaz Kazanoff and provides the right groove for each occasion. Real blues done right, getting harder to find every day. /Bluebeat Music
