Songwriter, harmonica giant and singer Joe Nosek of Madison’s famed Cash Box Kings and blues master pianist Queen Lee Kanehira will light up the backyard with harmonica, piano, and a whole lotta blues.
A self-described blues fanatic, Joe spent his youth soaking up as much blues music as he could hear, live and on record. In his teens, he began sneaking into blues clubs to watch Junior Wells, James Cotton, Otis Rush, Jimmy Rogers, Sunnyland Slim and others. After moving to Madison in the early 1990s, he began sitting in with artists such as Clyde Stubblefield and Luther Allison. The Cash Box Kings released their first album, Live! At The King Club, in 2003, instantly earning praise from critics and fans, and gaining a reputation as one of the hottest live bands on the circuit. www.cashboxkings.com/
Hailing from Tagawa, a coal mining city in South Japan, Lee Kanehira played classical piano in her childhood, but met the blues after college and has never looked back. Dedicated to playing old school Chicago blues, Lee was the Chicago Blues Piano Contest winner in 2018. She’s a frequent collaborator with the Cash Box Kings, making the blues sing across the US and around the world. www.leebluespiano.blog/
