This spring 2026 Florida run continues John Primer’s ongoing touring history in the state with The Real Deal Blues Band.

Growing up on Mississippi sharecropper land in 1945, Primer was inspired by field songs, spirituals, and the blues. After moving to Chicago in 1963, he began building a career through foundational venues and mentors that shaped the city’s blues tradition.

Primer performed on Maxwell Street and at Theresa’s Lounge, and worked with key artists including Sammy Lawhorn and Junior Wells. He later toured with Willie Dixon and the Chicago Blues All-Stars Band. In 1981, Primer joined Muddy Waters and was asked to lead the band. After Waters’ death, Primer performed with Magic Slim & The Teardrops for 14 years, touring internationally.

In 1995, Primer began leading his own band, The Real Deal Blues Band. He has recorded on dozens of albums, including releases under his own name, and has earned major industry recognition including Grammy nominations, Blues Music Awards, and Hall of Fame honors.
