About

JC and the Backscratchers is fronted by John Christopher “JC” (Chris) Balding, whose vocals evoke the spirit of blues legend James Harman. JC has been a staple of the Tallahassee blues scene, co-hosting the monthly Juke Joint Jam at the Bradfordville Blues Club since its inception in June 2021. With a history that includes performing at the Blue Monday Jam at The Pearl Oyster Bar, where he befriended the late Pat Ramsey, JC has made a lasting impact on the local music community. A skilled harmonica player since the age of 14, JC is also a 2020 IBC Regional Winner (Solo/Duo) and has released three CDs as a harp player and vocalist. He is an active member of several blues societies, including the North Central Florida, First Coast, Suncoast, and Wiregrass Blues Societies.
