He recorded on Dylan’s “Time Out Of Mind” and later toured with him. He also has toured with Tom Waits and Robert Gordon.

Duke's resume is decorated with Grammy nominations, Handy Awards and Blues Music Awards, and other honors for his artistry, recordings, and productions within the United States and internationally.
Diane Blue
Boston's DIANE BLUE is a “multi-talented performer who’s equally at home belting out a blues standard or cutting loose with a ferocious harmonica solo.” (Bill Van Siclen, Providence Journal). Her performances are captivating, charismatic and heartfelt, whether fronting her own world-class band or singing alongside master Bluesman Ronnie Earl. Ms. Blue is the first female member of Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters, prominently featured on the band’s most recent six celebrated records, including co-writing credits. When Diane is not performing with Ronnie Earl, she leads her own all-star band of extraordinary musicians.
The Blues Express
New England’s premier blues band, The Blues Express, is getting nationwide attention, and more and more people every day are seeing what the excitement is about. The heart of the group is the exceptional core of bassist and vocalist Mickey “Guardian of the Groove” Maguire, the teenage sensation Nick “Old Soul” Spencer on mind-blowing guitar and powerhouse vocals, the rivetingly inventive six-handed drummer Harrison Foti, and the multitalented world-class saxophonist Pat Herlehy. The Blues Express delivers a high-energy wallop of dynamic original tunes, along with some of the blues classics they learned from their mentor and friend, Chicago blues legend Luther “Guitar Junior” Johnson. As they said at The Fallout Shelter after The Blues Express’ recent gig there before a sellout standing-room only crowd: “The Blues Express is all of that!! Are you kidding me?? This is as badass a blues ensemble as there is!!"
