- Georgie Bonds delivers high intensity performances that hit you hard in the heart with soul-stirring emotion. Writing and singing from a place in his gut most of us will probably never find on our own (thank the Lord), this is traditional blues that ain't from the cotton fields. Forget Delta, Piedmont and all that, this is stuff you can feel down to your toes with thoughts the best newspapers used to publish when they were still in the news business. Killer stuff that'll grab you no matter what your musical taste.
- Roger Girke is a singer, writer and road tested guitarist. With a career including over 3,900 live shows, concerts and festivals and numerous recording sessions and releases, Rogers artistry has been validated by fans, writers, broadcast and a number of blues music industry awards. Roger, along with the many talented musicians he works with, continues to evolve each year performing original compositions from his 4 CDs combined with interpretations of New Orleans R&B classics and blues favorites all centered by Rogers strong vocals, established guitar skills and onstage charisma.
- Stacy Brooks has been dubbed DC's Queen of the Blues. This Multi Award Winner has been delivering toe tapping, head bobbing music since 2007. Stacy demonstrates that perfect balance of harnessing the influences of her legendary mentors and diverse musical styles and injecting that with her own fresh ideas into creations and interpretations she can call her own. Stacy is a supremely talented singer with the voice to conquer the worldwide blues scene in the same way as blues greats like Koko Taylor and Etta James. Any Blues music fan will be glad to add Stacy to their collection.
- Nate Myers delivers harmonica playing and vocals send shivers down your spine and keeps the crowd up and out of their seats! When Nate speaks to the crowd he makes a positive connection with his audience that is truly rare these days and is a joy to witness. Nate is the complete package: A master harp-man, a distinguished singer, a clever songwriter, and exhibits charisma on stage that keeps his audience engaged from beginning to end and usually begging for more. Nate has successfully developed his own sound by fusing blues, rap, country and everything in between. Experiencing a Nate Myers performance is time and money well spent.
