In an awards ceremony November 22, piano blues legend Big Joe Duskin was inducted into the City Entertainment Awards Hall of Fame. The awards, presented by CityBeat magazine, recognize, celebrate and reward the artists who are on the cutting edge of Cincinnati’s performing arts community.

For the rest of the world not living in Cincinnati, we released Duskin’s all-new studio album nationwide on September 7th. The album, “Big Joe Jumps Again!”, sees Joe joined by the King rhythm section as well as a few special guests including Cincinnatian Peter Frampton. Big Joe knocks out 15 stellar blues tracks, as well as a special narrative track where he describes the story of his struggle with his preacher father, who didn’t exactly approve of Joe playing “the Devil’s music.”
