“In Ronnie Baker Brooks’ powerhouse hands, blues-rock never sounded so outrageous. Soul never sounded so delicious. And the blues never sounded so profound… one of today’s top live performers.” –Blues Music Magazine

Ronnie Baker Brooks is one of Chicago’s—and the world’s—most undeniably talented and electrifying bluesmen. Born into blues royalty as the son of legendary multiple GRAMMY nominee and Blues Hall Of Famer Lonnie Brooks, Ronnie is among the few contemporary blues artists who learned his craft directly from many of the genre’s icons, including Albert Collins, B.B. King, Willie Dixon, Koko Taylor and, most significantly, his father. He’s built his reputation as a white-hot performer with eye-popping guitar work, soulful vocals, fireball energy and huge, crowd-pleasing personality. The Blues Foundation has recognized Ronnie’s talent with a total of six Blues Music Award nominations. In 2024, Ronnie, along with Shemekia Copeland, opened the famous Chicago Blues Festival (the 4th time he’s appeared as a headliner).

With his new Alligator Records debut, Blues In My DNA, Ronnie delivers a career-defining masterpiece. The album is firmly rooted in the blues, with Ronnie’s own brand of rock, funk and soul added to the mix. Each song was penned by Ronnie and produced by the legendary Jim Gaines (Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Steve Miller).

Ronnie took home three 2025 Blues Music Awards, presented by the Blues Foundation: Contemporary Blues Artist Of The Year (Male); Contemporary Blues Album Of The Year (for Blues In My DNA); and Song Of The Year for the title track. AllMusic said, “Blues in My DNA is in a class of its own — resonant, sophisticated, and soulful.” Chicago’s WGN-TV declared, “Ronnie Baker Brooks is one of the most electrifying blues guitarists in the world.”
