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.

Danny and the Devils - Danny and the Devils is a hard rocking original blues/rock band.

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.
