    The Uptown Theatre, First Street Community Center The Uptown Theatre, 221 First Street NE, Mount Vernon, IA, United States

    Iowa-based Kevin Burt’s vocals, blues songwriting and music arrangements are absolutely amazing – extremely powerful, rich, warm, expressive and exploding with SOUL! He is a 2018 International Blues Challenge Winner in 3 categories:  1st place Solo/Duo, best Solo/Duo guitarist, & best Harmonica Player award.  Recently also a 2019 Blues Music Award Nominee for Debut Album.  This Waterloo and Mount Pleasant kid’s head is not turned, however, and he’s a deep and wide supporter of Iowa music, musicians, and music education. Kevin’s talent, character (and luck, he would tell you) have taken him to the top of the industry. His new Heartland and Soul album was recorded with the nationally known top sidemen. D’Mar Martin on drums, Jon Otis (Johnny Otis’ son!) on percussion, and the bassist to the stars, Jerry Jemmott! Grammy award winning Jemmott is a true living legend, playing on so many timeless soul, blues, & jazz classics, from B.B. King’s “Thrill Is Gone” to Gil Scott Heron’s “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” to Aretha Franklin’s “Think”.
