Biography
George Brock was an American blues musician known as Big George Brock. By age eight, he was working as a sharecropper and immersed in blues music, learning harmonica from his father. As a teenager, he performed with Muddy Waters and later became a roadie for Howlinâ Wolf, occasionally performing with him. Brock moved to St. Louis in 1950, where he briefly pursued amateur boxing before focusing on music and opening Club Caravan, which hosted acts such as Ike & Tina Turner and Albert King. In the early 1960s, he turned down a record deal with Chess Records because it offered no royalties. Brock released numerous albums, including Front Door Man (1999). In 2005, he signed with Cat Head Delta Blues & Folk Art and released Club Caravan, which received a Blues Music Award nomination for Best Comeback Album. He was featured in the 2006 documentary Hard Times and continued performing at blues festivals and on international tours until his death on April 10, 2020, in St. Louis.
