Mississippi Woman - Stu Heydon Blues Band with Sheryl Rouse


Stu Heydon, blues guitarist, has been playing professionally since 1966. He has played with a multitude of bluesmen and has toured the U.S. and Canada with the likes of George "Wild Child" Butler, Bobo Jenkins, Lowell Fulsom, and Sam Lay before coming to the Monterey Peninsula, CA, where he now resides, performs, and teaches locally. Among his awards received are the Carmel Rotary Club Paul Harris Award for teaching the blues in Carmel, CA and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Motor Cities Blues Awards-Windsor/Detroit, as well as being voted Windsor's Best Guitarist. His live performances over the past thirty years have included the Chicago Blues Festival, Buddy Guy's Legends, and the House of Blues.

Having taught blues most of his life, Stu's career of teaching blues to the Monterey Peninsula began when he started the music program at the Carmel Youth Center, founded by Bing Crosby in 1949. Currently, he can be found at Carmel Music Studio, which he owns and operates, located in The Barnyard in Carmel, CA. Stu's latest cd, When Worlds Collide, features Mike Branton on guitar, Celso Aberti on drums, Dewayne Pate on bass, Michael Martinez/Denis Keldie on keyboards, and Les Smith on harmonica.
