John Broadway Tucker

For over 30 years John “Broadway” Tucker has played at clubs and major festivals around the world, including the San Francisco Blues Festival and the Monterey Bay Blues Festival’s main stage. A soldier in the mid-1960s, Tucker was transferred from Germany to Fort Ord, near Seaside, California. He started performing 6 nights a week, singing soul, R&B, and straight-up blues in a club on the corner of Fremont & Broadway. The club is long gone, but the name “Broadway” became synonymous with him. A recipient of the prestigious Monterey Bay Blues Festival MOBAY Award (previously awarded to blues legends such as Etta James, Koko Taylor and Charlie Musselwhite), Tucker has released 5 albums, including his latest, Somebody New.
