About Theo Huff

Chicago native Theo Huff is currently touring across the country showcasing his latest CD The New Beginning, which blends traditional and contemporary Blues/Southern Soul and R and B effortlessly with unforced phrasing and sassy churchiness. Soul (expired link) proclaimed that “Theo’s forte lies in pleading deep soul ballads, such as, Rewind, the impressive I’m Sorry, The melancholic It’s Over Now, the hooky Nothin You Can Do and the moody Somethin About You –all on Theo’s The New Beginning CD. Theo’s stage presence combines sexy sensitivity, cocksure flamboyance and confident command of the stage has captivated his audience at the Chicago Blues Fest in 2015, 2016 and as one of the three day event headliners in 2017. Tom Marker of WXRT radio praised Theo saying “dynamic combination of talents establishes him as a blues artist on the rise.” Blues author David Whiteis when faced with the question of the future of the Blues and who the best Blues acts will be in 30 years declared “my hands-down pick for most promising newcomer is soul-blues vocalist, Theo Huff.”
It is clear that Theo loves what he does and his desire to be a motivation to the younger generation of artist, to help keep soul-blues music alive, drives him. Theo made his European debut in 2014 preforming at the prestigious Porretta Soul Festival in Porretta, Italy and returning in 2015 and 2016. David Whiteis applauded Theo saying “Theo Huff has yet to reach his 30th birthday, but he’s already garnering an international reputation as a purveyor of the contemporary soul –blues (or Southern Soul) style.”
