Brian Kramer

Brian Kramer from Brooklyn was barely out of his teens when he began hanging out with legendary blues men, picking up tips and advice from folks such as Buddy Guy and Junior Wells, whenever they visited his hometown of NYC. Junior Wells took a particular liking to Brian and paid careful attention in showing him the right moves and how to play from the heart. Brian has shared the stage, traded licks and recorded with the Legendary Taj Mahal, Toumani Diabate, Bob Brozman, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Robin Ford, Bobby Rush, Cory Harris, John Mayall, Sven Zetterberg, Jimmy Dawkins and many others; and performed at international events such as the Cambridge Folk Festival, Bull Durham Blues Festival, Chicago World Music Festival, Notudden Blues Festival, Portugal Simply Blues Festival, etc.

Over the years to follow Brian continues to release albums independently through his own label; BKB Music (distributed by Plugged Music) to great reviews internationally, notably his solo release; Myself and Mine as well as Full Circle with his current band line up and featuring the wonderful vocal talents of Isabella Lundgren, Kitto, Maria Blöm and other guests. He is just as comfortable sitting in the producers chair with releases by a diverse selection of international songwriters.
