Award-winning… Show more vocalist/songwriter/harmonica icon Curtis Salgado sings and plays with soulful authority, never giving less than 100 percent. Salgado’s been perfecting his craft since he first began playing professionally in the late 1960s. He fronted his own group, The Nighthawks, inspired John Belushi to create The Blues Brothers, was co-star of The Robert Cray Band and sang and toured with Roomful of Blues.

Winner of the 2012 Blues Music Award for Soul Blues Artist of the Year (as well as the same award for 2010), Salgado effortlessly mixes blues, funk and R&B with a delivery that is raw and heartfelt.

With his Alligator Records debut, SOUL SHOT, Salgado is set to reach the largest audience of his career. Soul Shot was produced by funk and R&B guitarist Marlon McClain, drummer Tony Braunagel and co-produced by Salgado. SOUL SHOT speaks loud and clear to contemporary audiences, carrying on the timeless spirit of 1960s and ‘70s R&B. The album features four Salgado originals and seven carefully chosen covers.
