Raw Southern blues meets New Orleans funk in a high-energy, soul-drenched celebration of roots music.PERFORMER BIO:
Max Hightower
It all started when a 12-year-old Max Hightower wore out a cassette of Muddy “Mississippi” Waters Live. The sounds of Muddy and James Cotton lit a fire that’s burned ever since. Too broke for a guitar, his grandmother handed him a harmonica—and Max found his voice. From early bar gigs under Carolina legend Mickey Fowler to late nights at Pearl’s Cotton Club in Houston, Max sharpened his craft on harmonica, guitar, piano, and vocals. Years later, fate brought him face-to-face with former Muddy Waters bassist Mac Arnold, and together they formed Plate Full O’ Blues, serving up hot Chicago and Southern soul across the U.S. and Europe. Now, with his solo album Nothin’ But the TRUTH (MoMojo Records), recorded at BigTone Studio in New Orleans, Max delivers a raw, funky mix of NOLA groove and Carolina grit.
Rob Davis
Born and raised in New Orleans, Rob Davis began playing piano at the age of five and picked up the drums by eleven. A true multi-instrumentalist, he also plays accordion, bass, guitar, and sings. Rob is a fixture on the New Orleans music scene, currently performing with Mem Shannon and the Membership, Dr. Sick and the Late Greats, Captain Buckles, and his own band, Brokedown Streetcar, among others. He spent ten years with Vince Vance and the Valiants and several years with Benny Grunch and the Bunch, building a reputation as a versatile and soulful player. Deeply inspired by ’50s and ’60s New Orleans R&B, Rob’s influences include Professor Longhair, Fats Domino, Billy Joel, and Dr. John — and his love for funk, blues, gospel, Cajun, and Zydeco shines through in every performance. A proud graduate of Tulane University with a Bachelor’s degree in Music, Rob brings both heart and mastery to every stage he plays.
James Beaumont
James Beaumont is a British Saxophonist who has lived in New Orleans for 10 years. He's known for his tenor playing, but is equally proficient on soprano and Baritone sax, and plays piano. James has played extensively in the US and Asia, and has arranged, recorded and performed with bands such as Sally Baby's Silver Dollars, The Subdudes, The Quickening and many more. James is highly in demand as a sideman because of his versatility, and his sound which is deeply rooted in blues and soul. He also works as a front man, leading groups singing and playing around the crescent city.
