On this historic retrospective, Salgado breathes new energy into a high impact set of R&B, Funk, Soul and Rock 'n' Roll music from across his career.
Award-winning vocalist, instrumentalist and songwriter Curtis Salgado, the man NPR calls "an icon" with "a huge voice," is revered worldwide for his ability to wring every ounce of soul out of every song he performs. Salgado is famed not only for his powerhouse live shows and eleven previous albums, but also for his passionate and insightful original songs. He has been nominated three times for the Blues Music Award for Song Of The Year, winning in 2018 for "Walk A Mile In My Blues" from The Beautiful Lowdown. In total, he has won 13 Blues Music Awards, including the B.B. King Entertainer Of The Year. DownBeat calls his songwriting skills "an impressive gift." Billboard says Salgado's music is "inspired and powerful."
Born in Eugene, Oregon in 1954 and exposed to music from an early age, after Salgado's performance skills emerged in kindergarten, he remained active in his school music and drama programs and other community events until reaching 18 and starting work as a paid performer on the bar scene. By 1977, an introduction to John Belushi during a set break of a performance at The Eugene Hotel helped plant seeds that would influence the box office hit film, The Blues Brothers. A former member of The Robert Cray Band and vocalist for Roomful of Blues, Salgado has worked on and off as a solo artist and with various other bands since age 18, and has been fronting his own band since 1987. He tours extensively in the United States and worldwide.
Legacy Rewind is a powerful tour de force performance by Salgado and a 15 piece band including Keashaun Jones, Margaret Linn and Lindsey Reynolds (backing vocals); Alan Hager and Ben Rice (guitar), John Linn and John Wolcott (bass), Brady Goss (piano), Brian Harris (B3), Gary Harris and Timothy Bryson (saxophones), Dave Mills (trumpet), Lars Campbell (trombone), and Ron Tuttle and Patrick Seals (drums and percussion). The performance was recorded live and filmed at The Triple Door in Seattle, WA on April 5, 2025.
