  • Chicago blues masters, the Cash Box Kings
  • The B.B. King Blues Band, featuring players who worked with the blues legend for over three and half decades
  • Veteran sidemen, the Texas Horns, stepping out on their own with a who’s who of blues special guests
  • Bonerama playing Zeppelin
  • Duke Robillard sharing some of his favorite Earworms from his youth
  • Harmonica player Harpdog Brown
  • The powerful voice of Alexis P. Suter
  • George Benson with a tribute to Fats Domino and Chuck Berry
  • Mitch Woods celebrating Fats Domino and other Crescent City greats at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival
  • George Benson with his own tribute to Fats Domino and Chuck Berry
  • And a compilation of classic ‘50s tracks from New Orleans’ Guitar Slim
