The Kurt Allen Band

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. His latest release, Live From The Red Shed, is classic modern blues-rock. A true

road warrior with a hardcore touring schedule that saw him playing 150-200 dates a year, Allen – like

everyone else – was derailed for most of 2020-21 as the live music world shut down, but as soon as

things began to open back up he 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 ones, Live From The Red Shed is an unfiltered testament o the power of live 

blues.
