Contemporary Delta Blues, Stride and Jazz Guitarist Bradley N. Litwin Can Sing. Litwin represents the arrival of music that marries peak finger-style guitar performance with a vocal style that engages from the first phrase, and dazzles as it shifts from dark to light, funny to tender, and smooth to rollicking. Taking on the rompin' stompin' finger-style guitar of Blind Blake, Robert Johnson and Mance Lipscomb, the smooth singing of the Mills Brothers and Nat King Cole, and the exhilaration of Bessie Smith, Litwin emerges with a sound all his own, and one that music lovers have been waiting a long time to hear. Treating roots music like an old friend, who just stopped by after decades past, he carries on with a front porch conversation, as though it were never interrupted.
Today, Litwin plays both as a solo performer, and with a band of like-minded madmen as the Madman Jazz Quartet.
As quoted from his own website, "It's hard to believe 2005 has come and gone so quickly! Well, the new year promises to be even more of an adventure, with some very interesting residencies, including what I'd consider a dream come true. That will be the Springfield, Ohio Jazz Festival, coming in June."
