Jimmy Burns, born February 27, 1943 in Dublin, Mississippi, is a durable figure in the Chicago blues scene. Relocating to Chicago at age 12, Burns developed a vocaly, guitar-driven style that blends Delta roots with R&B, gospel and jazz-inflected grooves. Known for his soulful delivery and engaging live performances, Burns has built a respected career as a performer and bandleader, most notably hosting The Jam in venues across Chicago and beyond.
