Episode Synopsis

The experimental spirit and rocking subculture of the 60s live on in Jeff Mezzrow's music. Whether through blues and soul-soaked groove music or rock - guitarist / singer Jeff Mezzrow offers a truly lively performance that sweeps the audience away. After his youth in the Southside of Chicago, Mezzrow left his hometown in 1972 and has been on the road with his music in the United States and Europe ever since. In 2004 he settled in Berlin to perform with the Blue Man Group. There he teamed up with drummer Benedikt Stehle (Alexander Knappe, Fanfare Ciocarlia) and bassist Leon Schurz (Samy Deluxe, Fetsum) and found in them a rhythm section that creates the kind of groove that makes everything feel right.    
The band's latest album "Pawning The Plant" was released in 2020, and is available on CD.   
Jeff took the time to talk with us about the album, living in Germany, Albert King playing at his high school graduation, and much more! He even took out a guitar and played the album's title song.
