Considered by many as one of the best blues guitarists of the 60’s, Chris “Uncle Gus” Gussa, has returned to the Blues. Starting off from winning Best Blues Guitarist in San Diego to playing Blues in the bars of Chicago to producing movie soundtracks and national jingles, Uncle Gus has gone full circle back to recording a Blues album of twelve original songs on Roadcatz Records.
Back in 1966 in the small town (at that time) of El Cajon, California, Chris at the age of sixteen, won a contest for Best Blues Guitarist in San Diego “I think I won a hundred dollars and got a write up in San Diego Magazine or some such thing”, says Chris.
