Salgado grew up in Eugene, Oregon. After attending a Count Basie performance when he was 13, he knew that music was his calling. After getting his hands on a harmonica, Curtis began devouring the blues of Little Walter and Paul Butterfield, and taught himself to play.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy his 20s he was co-leader of The Robert Cray Band. In 1977, while comedian\/actor John Belushi was in Eugene filming Animal House, he caught a Salgado performance and introduced himself. Salgado started sharing some of his blues knowledge and a fast friendship grew. Belushi soaked up the music and used his new awareness to portray 'Joliet' Jake Blues in The Blues Brothers, first on Saturday Night Live, then a best-selling album (which was dedicated to Curtis) and finally as a major motion picture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter Salgado and Cray parted ways in 1982, Curtis went on to front Roomful Of Blues, touring with them from 1984 through 1986. Returning home to Oregon, he formed a new band, Curtis Salgado \u0026amp; The Stilettos and released his debut album in 1991 on the JRS label. After recordings for Rhythm Safari and Lucky Records, Salgado signed with Shanachie Records in 1999, releasing four albums. His Alligator Records debut, Soul Shot, came out in 2012 to widespread critical acclaim. He followed up with three more albums collectively earning him multiple Blues Music Awards--for B.B.
