An impressive lineup of modern blues greats converges on the Grape stage for this special event — a cross-section of artists representing the living soul of Texas, the deep Chicago blues tradition, and the signature sound of West Coast.
Plano, Texas guitar slinger Anson Funderburgh has led his hard-driving band The Rockets since 1978, mixing the Texas and Chicago sound on sixteen sublime albums and innumerable performances.
West Coast blues king Junior Watson is a founding member of The Mighty Flyers and has worked widely with L.A. blues/rock greats Canned Heat in addition to his recordings and performances with Big Mama Thornton, Charlie Musselwhite, John Németh, and Kim Wilson.
Grammy nominee, two time Blues Music award winner and Bay Area music royalty and harmonica master Mark Hummel has defined the West Coast blues sound for four decades, leading the Blues Survivors and performing alongside Charles Brown, James Cotton, Charlie Musselwhite, and Willie "Big Eyes" Smith.
Rhythm section is Wes Starr on drums( Asleep at the Wheel, Omar and Howlers, Delbert McClinton, Marcia Ball, Anson and Rockets, Jr Brown, Willie Nelson) and upright bassist Bill Stuve( Rod Piazza, Candie Cain, Otis Rush, Little Milton, Johnny Taylor, Big Joe Turner, Jimmy Rogers).
