Performing with Kurt Allen Band: NJ’s own James ‘JB’ Barnes with the BBD Rhythm & Blues Band, fronted by bassist-vocalist Barnes. Blues Matters!, reviewing JB’s new My Mississippi Roots album, wrote, “JB and his friends have delivered a first-class varied set of songs. Highly recommended.”
Allen hails from the blues music hotbed of Kansas City, MO and is an electrifying live performer. A recent show review of the Kurt Allen Band in Denver Entertainment Hub states, “Kurt Allen knows how to play blues rock. This past Friday night, at Lincoln’s Roadhouse, Allen reminded all of us in attendance what real blues rock is all about.” https://denverentertainmenthub.com/2025/08/24/kurt-allen-band-at-lincolns-roadhouse-august-22-2025/
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. Kurt’s latest release, Live From The Red Shed, is classic modern blues-rock.
A true road warrior with a hardcore touring schedule that sees him playing 150-200 dates a year, Allen — like most everyone else — was derailed for most of 2020-21 as the live music world shut down. As soon as things began to open back up, Allen 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 tracks, Live From The Red Shed is an unfiltered testament to the power of live blues.
Critical Acclaim For Kurt Allen
“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 blues-rock.”
LA HORA DEL BLUES
“Vocally, (Kurt) Allen has a touch of Joe Bonamossa about him, albeit with a grittier edge…finally answers the long-pondered question of what the early Seventies love child of Elvin Bishop and Stevie Wonder would sound like.”
THE ROCKER UK
Live From The Red Shed debuted at #2 on the Top 50 Blues-Rock Album Chart and has been in the Top 5 since it’s release and received airplay on over one-hundred radio stations and blues programs in the US, Canada and Europe.
