He's a highly emotive singer and a fantastic guitarist!" states the CHICAGO READER. "It comes highly recommended by this reviewer! Toronzo Cannon is now one of the stars of the Chicago scene," says BLUES BLAST MAGAZINE. 10x-Blues Music Award Nominated Guitarist, Singer & Songwriter TORONZO CANNON has 4 Nominations for "Contemporary Blues Male Artist of the Year" (2017-2020) and 2 Nominations for "Blues Album of the Year" (2017 & 2020) at the Blues Music Awards!
