Sonny Hill

  • Mansion Hill Tavern 502 Washington Avenue Newport, KY, 41071 United States (map)

Sonny Hill was born in Helena, Arkansas, (birthplace of blues legend Robert Johnson). His music career began at age seven, playing piano Sunday mornings in the little Helena Baptist Church and performing with a youth choral group on the now legendary "King Biscuit Blues Radio Station." Eventually Sonny hit the Chittlin' Circuit, touring with Blues notables Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, Rufus Thomas and Jimmy Witherspoon. Hill was selected twice for the prestigious Cincinnati Entertainment Award for Best Blues and R&B Performer. Also to his credit: two consecutive wins at the Greater Cincinnati Blues Society which led him to represent Greater Cincinnati for the International Finals in Memphis, Tennessee. Sonny Hill performs a diverse selection of R&B, Jazz, Top Forty, along with the Blues. His own soulful ballads, Blues and R&B originals make any Sonny Hill "gig" a music fest.
