Big Head Todd and the Monsters

Platinum-selling stars Big Head Todd and the Monsters join forces with three second-generation blues stars – Mud Morganfield, Billy Branch, and Ronnie Baker Brooks – to pay tribute to one of the pillars of modern blues and most influential songwriters of early rock and roll. Dixon’s street-tough lyrics and ribald riffs have permeated the works of artists such as Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, and even Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, and The Rolling Stones.

Dixon has been called the “poet laureate of the blues,” having written over 500 songs, including such immortal hits as “You Shook Me”, “You Can’t Judge a Book by the Cover”, “Wang Dang Doodle”, “Spoonful”, “Little Red Rooster,” “I Just Wanna Make Love to You,” “Hoochie Coochie Man,” and “Bring It On Home.”

Big Head Todd and the Monsters are best known for their platinum-selling record Sister Sweetly, and from that record the hit song “Bittersweet.”

Together, these three artists form the 2016 incarnation of the Big Head Blues Club, armed with their own blues material as well as an incredible playlist of songs from Willie Dixon, possibly the most prolific and accomplished songwriters in modern blues and rock n’ roll.
