~~~~~~
Legendary frontman for Little Charlie & The Nightcats, ~ LITTLE CHARLIE BATY ~ is a revered figure in blues and swing guitar circles. His absolute mastery of the blues idiom combined with a inventive and clever infusion of many other styles - R&B, swing, 50s Rock n Roll, Surf, even Gypsy Jazz! - makes him an undeniable force on the instrument. Guitar World declares, "Baty's straight blues playing is eye-popping...he stretches solos to the breaking point, skittering on the edge, where one wrong note will bring the whole thing crashing down."
~~~~~~
With nearly forty years of experience, ~ JUNIOR WATSON ~ has reached cult status. With influences as diverse as Tiny Grimes, Oscar Moore, Bill Jennings, Rene Hall, Robert Jr. Lockwood, Jimmy Rogers, Eddie Taylor, Guitar Slim, Earl Hooker and others he has truly created one of the most unique and original guitar voices to come along in years. Junior is famous for playing with reckless abandonment, often adding his own cartoon-like twist to everything he plays!
~~~~~~
2014 BMA nominee for the prestigious Blues Guitar award, ~ KID ANDERSEN ~ is a universally acknowledged as a genius on the instrument. Having built up a seriously impressive resume as a sideman for veteran bluesmen Terry Hanck and Charlie Musselwhite over the last decade, Kid Andersen currently tours with the ever popular act Rick Estrin and the Nightcats. On stage, Kid is a sight to behold - effortlessly switching between Rock, Swing and raw Chicago blues while maintaining a fierceness and intensity that can easily be confused with demonic possession!
~~~~~~
"Kirk is hands-down one of the best blues guitarists in the world." - Joe Bonamassa. A shining star of the SoCal blues scene, ~ KIRK FLETCHER ~ has commanded the respect and acclaim of critics, peers and fans across the globe. He is a four-time Blues Music Award nominee and has collaborated with a variety of popular artists (Doyle Bramhall Sr., Cindi Lauper, Michelle Branch), including a four-year role as lead guitarist of The Fabulous Thunderbirds. Kirk is an artist steeped in the blues tradition yet unafraid to break new ground and you can be guaranteed that he will deliver some of the hardest-hittin' blues you've ever experienced each time he takes the stage!
