锺庆龙筒介
锺庆龙(Tommy Chung)被誉为第一位香港蓝调音乐的先驱。Tommy于1996年在香港推出他生平第一只蓝调音乐专辑名为“Play My Blues”。“Play My Blues” 是首只由本地音乐人灌录并在香港推出的纯蓝调专辑。而Tommy的第二只专辑“Blues Talk”及第三只专辑“Blues Times”亦先后于2002及2004年推出。于灌录专辑的时侯，Tommy 有机会和来自日本,美国和香港等不同地方的顶尖级音乐大师合作。而这三只专辑均由一位在日本享誉盛名的结他大师竹田和夫(Kazuo Takeda)所监制。而这三只专辑在日本和香港都极获好评。
出生于香港的Tommy 在九岁的时候已对音乐产生浓厚兴趣。于青少年时期留学英国并于当地的伦敦大学取得法律学位。Tommy 于80年代早期从英国返回香港实习并取得执业大律师资格。但Tommy对音乐的热诚一直有增无减。从事了18年半大律师生涯的Tommy最后决定退下来去追求自己毕生最大理想:唱弹他的至爱“蓝调”。
早在1992年，Tommy已开始在日本表演。他曾在日本北海道多个地方巡回表演。当Tommy推出第二只专辑时，EMI为Tommy的音乐专辑在香港发行。而日本发行商则为BSMF。透过日本发行商的关系，Tommy开始于日本多个不同地方如东京，横滨，大阪及京都等知名蓝调酒吧表现。Tommy曾于多个知名场地表演和他同台演出的有日本知名音乐人如:竹田和夫(Kazuo Takeda)，大家昌治(Masa Oya)，高谷寿司(Takatani)，吾妻光良(Mitsuyoshi Azuma)和妹尾龙一郎(“Weep Harp”Senoh)。
于2000年，Tommy 经营香港第一间蓝调酒吧名为“48th Street Chicago Blues”而每个星期三及星期六均?由他表?。他的音乐吸引了很多来自不同地方的游客。Tommy的酒吧亦备受日本及英国的知名旅游杂志所推介。于2003年，英国广播电台(BBC)远渡由英国到香港为Tommy及他的酒吧做了一个专访。
Tommy的音乐是扎根于蓝调，他今时今日的音乐是融合了蓝调和现代感。Tommy备受观众赞赏的地方是他的唱功及被冠以闪电结他手的称号。
此次北京的演出Tommy特别邀请了日本著名的鼓手Funky 末吉、中国著名的音乐制作人、结他手龙隆作为其乐队的鼓手和贝司手，同时香港另一位著名结他手王驰也将作为演出嘉宾同Tommy一起登台演奏。
