Australian blues artist C.W. Stoneking has built his own musical persona… and it’s a good one. Blending blues and rockabilly with an old-fashioned style, he balances howling vocals with the energetic rhythms of banjo and guitar to create a one-of-a-kind sound.

In preparation for his third full-length record, Gon’ Boogaloo, releasing early next month, Stoneking sets out on a North American tour this summer, hitting 25 cities. On June 3rd, he’ll be performing alongside other talented acts like Nikki Lane and The Dyes at Chicago’s Do Division Street music festival.
