Joey J Saye: Joey J. Saye is a Chicago guitarist / singer songwriter who has began performing in venues since the age of 15. Since then he has been developing his craft by immersing himself in the Chicago blues scene.

You've seen his explosive, dynamic electrifying band 'The Blues Imperials' light up the night like fireworks on the fourth... ---now see and hear Lil Ed Williams with an all-stars group, rarely seen live in an intimate setting.

Ivy Ford, is one of the leading "youngbloods" of blues and brings a refreshing yet classic face to the music. She formerly handled her cherry red, Epiphone-339 with as much confidence as any of the bluesmen today and can belt out notes to fill a room and serenade a phrase sweeter than sugar in ways that make anyone and everyone tune in to what she has to say.

Jimmy Burns, Born in 1943 near the Delta town of Dublin, Mississippi, embodies that increasingly rare combination of blues roots deep enough to tap into ‘the real thing’, while still possessing the youth and vitality to present his music with plenty of life and real excitement. He honed his vocal skills singing with vocal groups in the ’50s, and over the years has perfected an appealingly melodic, vocal-inflected contemporary guitar style to complement the down-home picking he’d learned in his youth.
