For over a decade, Kurt Allen has been fusing gritty old school blues, vintage soul, swampy bayou
funk, and more into a relentless blues-rock machine. His songwriting reflects craftsmanship honed by
years of commitment, and his albums take the listener on an unforgettable ride to almost every corner
of the blues universe. His latest release, Live From The Red Shed, is classic modern blues-rock. A true
road warrior with a hardcore touring schedule that saw him playing 150-200 dates a year, Allen – like
everyone else – was derailed for most of 2020-21 as the live music world shut down, but as soon as
things began to open back up he was burning up the miles all over the lower 48. And, by the good
graces of the Blues gods, he also ended up with a stellar live recording from The Red Shed in
Hutchinson, Kansas. Over nine tracks Allen flexes his guitar muscle in a way only hinted at on
previous studio releases. Peppering the set with songs from his entire catalog, along with new and
previously unrecorded ones, Live From The Red Shed is an unfiltered testament o the power of live
blues.
Critical acclaim for Kurt Allen:
“If Kansas is still a dry state, I wonder what they were serving at the Red Shed when this live album
was recorded. Check your hub caps before you leave the parking lot.”
- Jazz Weekly
“I’ve used this term before, but the right way to describe what’s happening here is nasty blues with
rock & roll muscle. I only wish I could’ve been there when it went down.” - The Rock Doctor
“Kurt Allen is one of those actual singers and guitar players who knows how to combine blues rock
with wise touches of old school blues and more. Nine songs that completely show the technique, guitar skills and vocal strength of this accomplished master of the most actual blues rock.”
