Five incredible blues artists:

Tito Deler: Born and raised in uptown Manhattan, Brother Tito Deler is the son of immigrants from the Dominican Republic with a natural gift for music. Brother Tito plays a steel body National Resonator guitar. Writing and performing songs of his own he combines sounds from his Harlem upbringing with the style of pre-war Mississippi Delta blues and gospel.

Lonnie Shields: Lonnie Shields is truly one of the finest of the next generation of the blues. He cut his blues teeth performing with The Jelly Roll Kings. His recording career has led him through a number of studios from Memphis and Clarksdale to tours all over the world. This Delta born guitarist, singer and songwriter's style is just the opposite of his demeanor. Lonnie comes across as a mild mannered southern gentleman with a laid back nature. On stage he is transformed into an extraordinary entertainer moving to his music and feeding off the energy of the audience. His music is deeply rooted in gospel, soul and R&B while his sound, like his soul is never too far from the home of the blues.

Dean Shot: A true NJ Guitar Hero in the making for over 30 years. Having cut his teeth playing with legends such as Hubert Sumlin, Danny Russo, Paul Oscher, Floyd Phillips, David Maxwell, Eddie Shaw, Ronnie Earl, Lonnie Youngbloood, JB Lawson, Greg Picollo, Doug James, Steve Guyger, Dennis Gruenling, Deak Harp, The Fabulous Thunderbirds and more.....he is no stranger to the real deal blues. He can deliver it with a power and deftness that few have ever matched.

Junior Mack: A self-taught blues-rock musician and soulful vocalist, Junior Mack has been playing guitar since 1968. Influenced by countless blues, rock and gospel musicians and singers, he’s combined years of listening and learning into one unique style. Aside from his own band (The Junior Mack Band) and solo efforts, he’s currently the front man for Jaimoe’s Jasssz Band and a founding member of the Grammy Nominated Heritage Blues Orchestra. His style of music has been enthusiastically received by audiences within the United States, Europe and as far away as India. Junior has sat in or worked with numerous artists including The Allman Brothers Band, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, The Marshall Tucker Band, Honeyboy Edwards and Cyndi Lauper among others.

Tony O: A Grammy-nominated New York City blues guitarist, songwriter, and vocalist, best known for his work with The Legendary Blues Band, and for a Grammy nomination in 1998 with Pinetop Perkins for the album Born in the Delta.
