The Rumblejetts

Blue Orleans
Hailing from Lawrence, KS Blue Orleans will have you dancing with their sound of zydeco in the style of funk, R&B, gospel & blues. There's NO COVER for this great show starting Thursday night, 5/25, at 7:30PM!

Ana Popovic
According Peter "Cornbread" Cohen of STLBlues.net ,

To quote the press release quoting STLBlues, “Women in the Blues is always something there's never enough of, especially talented vocalists / multi-instrumentalists. Ana Popovic has the ability to deliver a delicate, slow hand fretwork display, and raise to a screaming Blues guitar attack, backing it all with her strong, soulful vocal stylings.” – I couldn’t have said it better!
I certainly enjoyed her latest live CD, Ana!. I my favorite cut was My Man (plus Long Lost Love). Jazzy, sexy, "in your face" blues! You can order Ana's music here. Friday night's show starts with special guest Matt Ward at 8PM. Tickets are just $12. Don't miss this lovely lady from Amsterdam!

Hayes Carll
To quote CMT :
Hayes Carll, raised in a suburb north of Houston, is poised to become the next great Houston-bred singer-songwriter.
Hayes has just signed up with Lost Highway Records, joining a notable roster of recording artists including Van Morrison, Willie Nelson, Ryan Adams, Lucinda Williams, Elvis Costello, Lyle Lovett, Tift Merritt, Mary Gauthier, Tim O'Reagan and Donavon Frankenreiter.
