Ronnie Baker Brooks
City Jazz - 18 May 2000

The first time I saw Ronnie Baker Brooks was in 1993 during the B.B. King, Eric Johnson tour that year. He was playing as a sideman in his Dad’s Band (Lonnie Brooks) who is one of the old guard of the blues. Ronnie’s playing stuck out (at least to me) and I was seriously impressed with his guitar chops. I met him for a short period of time later in the day when he was hanging around the soundboard. He was kind of quiet and reserved. In the years since, I had seen him with his Dad’s band. The last time he did a half-hour solo set which included some really smokin guitar. Lonnie Brooks is one of the great blues showman and Ronnie has learned his lesson well. Ronnie’s brother (Wayne Baker Brooks) is now filling in the side guitar slot on Lonnie Brooks Band while Ronnie is touring as a solo act. here are some photos from the show. This guy is a great showman, excellent guitar player and just an all around great performer. Murf HIGHLY recommends that you check him out when he is in your area.
