In 2007 Rodio joined the band of guitarist Linsey Alexander, known as “The Hoochie Man” to his many devoted fans. \n\n\n\nBreezy soon advanced to a band leading role with Alexander’s outfit, the guitarist working on his 2010 CD If You Ain’t Got It as well as Linsey’s two acclaimed  Delmark albums, 2012’s “Been There Done That” and his most recent release in  2014, “Come Back Baby”. But Rodio found time to do his own thing too, cutting his 2011 debut album “Playing My Game Too” with a stellar supporting cast that included guest  guitarists Lurrie Bell, Rockin’ Johnny, and Dave Herrero and bassist Bob Stroger along with Alexander and  Guy King.\n\n\n\nIn 2015 Breezy releases his second album, “So Close to It”. The album obtained very favorable reviews from all corners of the map. It reached the number two spot nationwide in the Chicago Blues category on the Roots Music Report, the number one independent mu­sic chart in the world.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn So Close To It, Breezy reaffirms his crisp, clean mastery of electric blues  guitar, displaying a keen sense of tradition and proving himself a convincing  vocalist as well. He’s invited another cadre of Chicago’s top blues luminaries to join him, led by harpist extraordinaire Billy Branch, searing guitarist Bell, and  two-fisted pianist Ariyo. Hammond B­3 master Chris Foreman is on board too,  along with jazz mainstays Art Davis and Bill Overton on trumpet and saxophone  respectively. He toured Japan twice, playing clubs and festivals, then embarked on three tours of South America, two tours of Europe, plus jaunts to Canada and Mexico.His latest CD, “Sometimes the Blues got me” sparkles throughout with clean guitar lines, masterfully played, and with plush, richly layered arrangements in which horns evoke the early orchestrations of T­Bone and B.B. Incorporating lump, swing, jump, early double shuffle, ballads and funk, the hard working, ambitious Breezy Rodio displays his mastery of the guitar while spanning the breadth of his interests, from 1940s jump blues to today’s funk­tinged urban blues. It sure seems that “The Blues” has got Breezy Rodio more than just ‘sometimes.’ It’s got him good.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBreezy Rodio – If It Ain’t Broke Don’t Fix It ( https://www.delmark.online/product/860/ )\n\n\n\n\nBreezy Rodio – If It Ain’t Broke Don’t Fix ItDelmark DE 860 (2019)\n\n\n\nThe latest project by Breezy Rodio, If It Ain’t Broke Don’t Fix It, presents vibrant, new, quality original material. Rodio has pro- duced a veritable smorgasbord of tasty songs. With the use of A-list musicians, dynamic horn arrangements and inventive original lyrics, Breezy has managed to produce a recording full of musical delights.\n\n\n\nI met Breezy shortly after he appeared on the Chicago Blues Scene. I watched him grow from a shy, young aspiring guitar player into the confident guitarist and vocalist that he has become. Believe me; I know a thing or two about navigating the Chicago Blues landscape. It may sound cliché, but you absolutely must pay your dues to get accepted here on the scene. Though long gone are most of the classic great musicians, Chicago is still the world Mecca of the Blues. I have seen many musicians with great potential fall by the wayside, succumbing to the many pitfalls that plague the path to success. Breezy has not only survived but has emerged as a dynamic artist.\n\n\n\nIt is worth mentioning that Breezy’s nine-year tenure as a guitarist in the band of Chicago’s illustrious Linsey Alexander definitely gave him the experience and confidence to develop his own musical identity. I became acutely aware of his musical growth and development when I collaborated with him on his previous Delmark release, Sometimes The Blues Got Me (Delmark DE 853) ( https://www.delmark.online/product/853/ ).\n\n\n\nI am confident that Breezy’s musical growth will continue. I am happy to know him as a friend, and a serious musician, who shares the same respect for those who paved the way before us. Stay tuned, the best is yet to come.\n\n\n\n– Full liner notes by Billy Branch continued in CD\n\n\n\n\nhttps://epiphanychi.com/events/breezy-rodio-2/\n\n
