Featuring Special Guests...

Ginger St. James
& SnowHeel Slim
www.gingerstjames.com

With her sultry and powerful voice, her sassy and commanding stage presence, and a repertoire that blends country, rock and blues, Ginger St. James packs a lot of entertainment into her petite frame. Following the tradition of country songbirds like Loretta Lynn and Wanda Jackson, Ginger writes music from real experience. A born entertainer, she captivates audiences with her tongue-in-cheek songs that are as entertaining lyrically as they are visually and musically. She released her first EP in 2010, followed by the EP 'Tease' (2012). She is currently touring in support of her debut full-length album 'Diesel & Peas.'

The Vaudevillian
www.facebook.com/thevaudevillianmusic

1920’s ragtime and string band blues. Spit, Scream, Stomp. Washboard, guitar and kazoos. Brendan J Stephens and Willow Walker are 1920’s blues singers in the flesh. Hitchhiking between raucous house shows, rowdy bars and busking everywhere in between, they have crafted a way of singing both their own material and songs near one hundred years old in a way entirely their own.

Frankie & Jimmy
http://frankieandjimmy.bandcamp.com

Sliding Delta Demento Blues. The Poor Man’s Blues Brothers will scream their way into your hearts, minds and pocketbooks with their old time blues standards. Fuzzed out frantic songs about freight trains and murder played by reprobate party animals will tantalize and tease your senses. With a set as spicy as their gourmet hot sauce they play it dirty. They play it pretty. They play it spooky… and damn are they nice to look at. A feast for your eyes, ears and mouth. Buy their 12” of hot wax for hours of soul soothing growls and slide licks.

Bonnie Hamilton
