Blueshot - Blueshot, Blues, blues and blues forever. With the singer, guitarist and composer Torben Pape as the star, blueshot celebrates 10th. year anniversary and a hot new album release called "Slip n Slide". You might have heard us before. We've been no. 1 on the american blues chart with a song called "Sweet and Kind". No. 5 with "It's so easy", and while planning our third album we've been playing support fo Gary Moore. Blues is pure soul and feeling, so we tried to make our third release as live as possible. Three days in the studio with producer "Tom Lindby" and we were ready. Torben says: "Blues is now, and has been alive for more than a century. It has been the inspiration for jazz, rock n roll, funk, soul, heavy, hip hop etc and will live forever. http://www.myspace.com/blueshotblues

Joe Bonamassa - As Joe Bonamassa grows his reputation as one of the world’s greatest guitar players, he is also evolving into a charismatic blues-rock star and singer-songwriter of stylistic depth and emotional resonance. His ability to connect with live concert audiences is transformational, and his new album, The Ballad Of John Henry, brings that energy to his recorded music more powerfully than ever before. The ninth solo album and seventh studio release of his career – as well as his fourth consecutive with producer Kevin Shirley (Led Zeppelin, Black Crowes, etc.) – the disc adds a heavy dose of “swamp” to Bonamassa’s virtuoso mix of ‘60s-era British blues-rock (à la Beck and Clapton) and roots-influenced Delta sounds. It shows off Bonamassa’s vocal range as much as his instrumental voodoo, and the artist says, “I feel this is my strongest work to date.” http://www.jbonamassa.com/ http://www.myspace.com/jbonamassa

Deb Callahan Band - Philadelphia’s blues and soul drenched vocalist and songwriter, Deb Callahan grew up in the Boston area but has been a fixture on the mid-Atlantic music scene since the late 90’s. During this time she has gained a reputation for writing creative blues, soul and roots influenced original music and using her powerful, emotionally expressive voice and engaging stage presence to deliver a unique, high energy live show. http://www.debcallahanband.com/ http://www.myspace.com/debcallahanband

The Catch Blues Band - The Catch Blues Band is one of the hottest bands in the Ohio Valley. Known for their mixture of musical styles they have been described as the blues with a splash of rum, where B.B. King meets Bob Marley, with a Clapton-like vocal. This mixture of genres has earned The Catch Blues Band a dedicated following in the Upper Ohio Valley since the veteran musicians formed the group in 2006.

The four-piece band's distinctive rhythms create an expansive sound. The interplay between Dana Burkhart's elaborate bass lines along with the Latin-influenced percussions created by Johnny Lemmon gives the music a serious depth. When added to the unmistakably blues-like raunchiness of Kevin Brosh's organ and piano accompaniment and topped off with Mike Roeder's distinctive vocal and guitar stylings, The Catch Blues Band will give any blues-lover that back-street blues-battle house feeling.

Super Chikan - James "Super Chikan" Johnson is an American blues musician, artist and guitar maker based in Clarksdale, Mississippi. He is the nephew of fellow blues musician Big Jack Johnson.

James Louis Johnson was born in Darling, Mississippi on February 16, 1951. He spent his childhood moving from town to town in the Mississippi Delta and working on his family's farms. He was very fond of the chickens on the farm, and before he was old enough to work in the fields, he would walk around talking to them. This led his friends to give him the nickname "Chikan Boy". http://superchikan.bandzoogle.com/

Danny and the Devils - Danny and the Devils is a hard rocking original blues/rock band. Fronted by, guitarist, singer, songwriter Danny Baron, this power trio can rock you one minute and groove you the next. People are always shocked to see that they are a trio because they sound so much BIGGER. http://www.myspace.com/dannyandthedevils

Debbie Davies - Davies rise to the upper echelon of blues music started at an early age as she absorbed the music heard constantly in her home. Her (professional) musician parents were either sitting at the piano or spinning discs on their turntable, filling the air with the sounds of big band jazz, harmony vocal groups, or the pop icons of the day. But the young Davies was particularly attracted to the bluesier sounds of her father’s Ray Charles records, and by the age of 12 realized that her affinity for an instrument was not for the piano, but for the guitar.
