John Lee Hooker Jr.

Two-time Grammy Nominee, and son of the blues legend is bringing his modern blues, soul and R&B sound!

"Hooker’s delivery is so dead-on that listeners might begin to wonder whether the tales he tells are true. It’s more likely that they represent the work of an artist who knows that good singing, playing, and storytelling add up to great music."

Teresa James & The Rhythm Tramps

Teresa and her band The Rhythm Tramps have created their own unique sound... where New Orleans meets Texas Blues and everyone has a good time.
