Deanna Bogart , playing dazzling piano and soulful saxophone, combines boogie-woogie, contemporary blues, country, and jazz to create a unique fusion of musical styles. Her new Blind Pig album is entitled Real Time .
Ronnie Baker Brooks, the "Crown Prince of Chicago Blues" and the son of blues legend Lonnie Brooks, is a powerful guitarist and masterful entertainer who plays blues-rock with deep soul and a twist of modern hip-hop and funk rhythms. His latest release is entitled The Torch, on Watchdog Records.
