#144 in the Need To Know Badass Blues Instrumental Series, Blue Rose, features the primitive and tasty guitarisms of John McVey. A veteran of the Texas Blues scene, John honed his chops touring the Chitlin’ Circuit. He was mentored by Blues legends Larry Davis and Albert King. His musical resume includes worldwide performances with Hook Herrera & the Hitchhikers and Paul Orta & the Kingpins. After hitting the jackpot with a Miller Genuine Draft commercial, John joined the Lavelle White Band in Austin as guitarist and band leader. With Lavelle, he played the major festival circuit for several years on shows with Luther Allison, John Lee Hooker, and more. John currently lives and gigs in around St. Louis. Check him out if you're in the neighborhood. Enjoy!
