The areas best musicians will be paying tribute to the music of 4 Blues Hall Of Fame members: Michael Bloomfield (2012), Johnny Guitar Watson (2008), Ruth Brown (2002) & Big Bill Broonzy ( a charter BHOF member).

Michael Bloomfield was one of the first guitar heroes of his generation, who along with Eric Clapton, was considered an early influence on many aspiring Blues guitarists that followed the path of the Blues boom of the late 60s and early 70s.

Bloomfield was inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Paul Butterfields Blues Band. Michael started his own legendary band, The Electric Flag, after leaving Butterfields band in late 1967. He is also known for his collaborations with Al Kooper ( the immortal Super Sessions albums) and his work with Bob Dylan, most notably the Highway 61 album including the classic, Like A Rolling Stone.

The GREAT Salt City BLUES Concert 8 will also be paying tribute to, Johnny Guitar Watson, a Texas Blues guitar great who began recording in 1954 and later re-invented himself as a funk soul master, best known for writing and singing the classic 1977 R&B hit , A Real Mother For Ya.

Ruth Brown is also a member of the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, inducted in 1993, mostly on the strength of 50s classics Ruth recorded for Atlantic Records. Atlantic Records was then known as the house that Ruth built and Ruth a consistent hit maker and was their Queen of Rhythm & Blues.

On the acoustic stage, The GREAT Salt City BLUES Concert 8 will pay tribute to the legendary Chicago Bluesman, Big Bill Broonzy, a Blues Hall of Fame artist who began performing in the 1920s and continued to record until his death in 1958. His prolific writing skills include over 300 copyrighted compositions, including many Blues classics that formed the bedrock of Chicago Blues. The great Muddy Waters was one of his biggest fans and recorded many of Big Bills classics for Chess Records in the 50s and 60s.
