| Grady Champion is a young blues singer
and harmonica player from Mississippi who has been compared with
Sonny Boy Williamson. "Grady's
voice not only made me think of Robert Johnson, but the way he
worked the crowd seemed as though Johnson's, or Luther
Allison's, fire and raw sense of what the audience needs was
being born inside him." Dave McIntyre, Blues Access
magazine. |

Lane and the No Static Blues Band |
|
| Mary Lane hails from Arkansas where
she sang in local juke joints in the company of Howlin' Wolf,
James Cotton, Robert Nighthawk and Little Junior Parker. She has
lived in Chicago for the last 35 years where she performed with
Elmore James, Magic Slim and Otis Rush. She is a favourite of
the Chicago West Side blues circuit..... "igniting the call
and response between entertainer and audience that usually turns
her show into truth-telling sessions about the foibles of men
and women and life". |
