HEY LOCO FANS – Chicago blues singer, guitarist and songwriter E.G. Kight was born January 17, 1966 in Dublin, Georgia. She has worked with many musicians, including George Jones, Jerry Lee Lewis, Conway Twitty, Merle Haggard, Luther Allison, Hubert Sumlin, Pinetop Perkins, Taj Mahal, B.B. King, and Koko Taylor. That’s quite a list!

Kight has recorded several albums to date and received nominations for Blues Music Awards, in the categories Contemporary Female Artist and Song of the Year. She is billed as "The Georgia Songbird".

At the age of five her grandmother taught her to play the guitar. Initially raised on a musical diet of gospel and country music, she gravitated towards the blues after hearing a recording of Koko Taylor. Already a professional musician in her mid-teens, Kight moved away from playing country songs and began her career in Chicago blues. She toured extensively in the late 1990s and into the new millennium.

Her 1997 album, “Come into the Blues”, includes a version of "I've Been Loving You Too Long". In 2002, Blue South Records released her album “Trouble”. “Southern Comfort” followed the next year, with Chuck Leavell playing piano.

In 2004, she released “Takin' It Easy”, which included, along with her own compositions, covers of Duke Ellington's "I Ain't Got Nothin' but the Blues" and the Allman Brothers Band's "Southbound." In the same year she was nominated for three Blues Music Awards.

On Kight's 2008 album, “It's Hot in Here”, attained number one on the root blues chart and on Sirius XM Radio.

Kight's 2011 release, “Lip Service”, had musical and production input from Paul Hornsby and contained "Koko's Song", a tribute to Taylor.

Her songs have been recorded by Taylor, Dorothy Moore, Saffire – The Uppity Blues Women, and Shakura S'Aida. She endorses Taylor Guitars. Kight continues to live in Dublin, Georgia, on land that has belonged to her family for four generations.
