'BIG DADDY' KNOX :: BIO |
Marquise Knox is a blues prodigy, who exploded on the St. Louis scene.
Marquise grew up listening to Lightnin' Hopkins, Muddy Waters, Johnny
Lee Hooker, and B.B. and Albert King.
He’s since opened for B.B. King, and performed with legends
like Henry Townsend, Louisiana Red, Robert Lockwood Jr., and Honeyboy
Edwards!
One of the most exciting young players to emerge in St. Louis, Marquise
embodies the soul and essence of a veteran bluesman, with his command
of guitar and harmonica combining with his energetic showmanship.
"I
want to be known and as big as B.B. King throughout the whole world.
I want everyone to know about this kid that can play the blues as
if I was there when it was made, and to show that the young kids can
do something with their life."
-- Marquise Knox
 "When
blues aficionados get to talking about Knox, the words "prodigy"
and "Muddy Waters" tend to crop up in reverent tones."
--Riverfront Times, St. Louis, MO.
"The big question is always the future of blues. All the innovators
are dying out and the future of blues is in danger of becoming white
rock & roll. Right now this kid should be on at every blues
festival in the country. He's got a big voice like Muddy Waters,
and he's got that machismo. He's really stunning when you hear him.
He's rough and raw, and he's pure."
-- John May, St. Louis Blues Society
