Joanne Shaw Taylor When Annie Lennox paused her Diamond Jubilee
Concert performance to let a white-suited,
angel-winged blonde fire a soaring Les Paul solo
into the sky above Buckingham Palace, uninitiated
viewers all asked the same question: “Who’s that
girl?” Needless to say the music fans and
blues-heads in the crowd already knew the answer -
it was Joanne Shaw Taylor, the
whisky-voiced singer, the midas-touch guitar
heroine, the heart-on-sleeve songwriter who
won ‘Best Female Vocalist’ at this year’s
British Blues Awards, and one of the most exciting young
blues guitarists on the planet.
Lloyd Spiegel "Spiegel
has stamped himself as one of the best
songwriters in the country, regardless of genre,
of history, of ANYTHING. It's a powerhouse of
brutal honestly."
- Rhythms Magazine
Collard
Greens & Gravy Acclaimed
for their gritty, driving, down home sound,
Collard Greens and Gravy play a mostly original
repertoire of foot stomping country blues that
would sound right at home in a Mississippi Juke
Joint.
Sean
Kirk “Shaun Kirk’s youth belies the
depth of his music, his soulful tone and feel
draw from a tradition beyond his days. And
yet, I still get the feeling that something
new is happening when I hear him play."
– Jimi Hocking
Marisa
Quigley "Possibly
the blackest white women since Janis Joplin"
- Chris Lambie, Forte Magazine
Shannon Bourne
"One of
the best guitarists in the
country" - Gary Young, Daddy Cool
& Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons

dig.
