Gone are the days when Toronzo Cannon hopped from blues jam to blues jam, participating in open mic nights and hoping for his star to rise.

With the help of his band, Toronzo Cannon and the Cannonball Express, the Chicago man's musical career has taken off.

"People recognize me, and I still don't really know how to take it," said Cannon, a bus driver for the Chicago Transit Authority. ~daily herald, beth sneller

I came from France to visit Chicago for few days. I saw Toronzo Cannon, for the first time in Blue Chicago...and I felt in love with the blues and with Chicago ! His voice is great, his songs are great, his music is greattt. This man is a magician ...I saw a piece of wood becoming sensual in his hands ! Magnifique, j'adore !

I am Ramblin'Rose one of Chicago's Blues Divas. I have performed with Toronzo many times in various venues. He's a gifted and most talented guitarist/entertainer, good natured, fun to be around and his is EASY ON THE EYES too. I especially like it, when he plays his guitar with his TONGUE...All the ladies say. "HE GOT SKILLS"

It was my distinct pleasure to see Toronzo's band a few weeks back at the Redfish in Chicago. He's a fabulous guitar player who has obviously worked on his style and his chops. He does a great, tight, no lag show. His band is outstanding from top to bottom. His choice of material is cool, he sings his ass off, and I bought both of his cd's. I enjoyed them immensely. My best to you Toronzo as making it as a blues guy is tough enough in ANY town let alone Chicago. My best to you.
