Scott McKeon (British blues guitarist)
Since picking up his first guitar at the age of four, Scott
McKeon has devoted himself to the mastery of his craft and
can now be considered to be one of the most gifted and
naturally talented guitarist, singer/songwriters emerging
on the UK blues rock scene. He plays with the technical expertise
and passion that is the envy of musicians many years
his senior. Scott made his debut on national television at
the age of just seven and as the 1998 winner of Guitarist
Magazine’s “Young Guitarist of the Year” title, he is already
listed as one of the 27 best blues guitar players in the
world on Google.

The Bluerunners (Cajun)
In 1991 The Bluerunners leapt from Lafayette, Louisiana into
the white-hot glare of the national limelight. Propelled by a
seamless (if seemingly unlikely) blend of frenetic cowpunk
originals and traditional Cajun music, The Bluerunners'
self-titled major label album earned the group rave reviews
in rock circles and an important niche in the rich
musical history of South Louisiana.
Critics praised The Bluerunners' making favorable
comparisons to the likes of The Band, and Los Lobos.
Years on the road, and four studio albums later, The Bluerunners
shine radiant once again, thanks to their glowing
new album, LIVE at The Triple Door.

Dale Watson (Country)
"...the kind of stuff country music legends are made of..." - Austin Chronicle
Dale Watson isn't one to uphold the music industry's
status quo. He's moving forward on his own terms and
true to his own convictions. Even with frequent proclamations
declaring him one of country music's last authentic
voices (like that in Crazy Again--a recent documentary
on Watson's life--when a fan declares, "son, you play country
like country was when country was country"), Watson
is done with the "C" word and what it's come to represent
in modern times. So much so that he's created his
own genre, simply called Ameripolitan.

Charlie Musselwhite (Blues)
It's Charlie's mix of wild country abandon seasoned by years of
playing urban electric blues in Chicago that spurs the likes of
Ben Harper, Tom Waits and Gov't Mule to welcome Musselwhite
onto their stages and records. That same brash, blues/
rock rebel vibe was Dan Aykroyd's inspiration for his Elwood
Blues persona, and it's what has won Musselwhite a pile of blues
awards and earned the admiration and respect of his own heroes:
Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters.
John Lee was even the best man at Charlie's wedding.
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to helpgaff.com to aid the family of Chris Gaffney.

Thursday 7/3
James Harman with the Tablerockers
Harman found the blues early in life, both on black radio and on the street corner: "Radio" Johnson, a local blind street singer who played slide guitar with a knife, was an early influence and collaborator. Harman's professional career began in 1962 after moving to Panama City, Fla. Soon after the move, he discovered like-minded friends, who invited him to black nightclubs to see such performers as Little Junior Parker, Jimmy Reed, Little Milton Campbell, Slim Harpo, Bobby Bland, O.V. Wright, B.B. King, Otis Redding, Solomon Burke, Joe Tex and James Carr. He began hanging out on a regular basis and was eventually asked to sit in by local house bands, becoming known as "that boy who sings like a man."
The Tablerockers are influenced by a variety of musical styles that include Delta blues, Chicago and Texas blues, R & B, soul, rock-a-billy, jazz, funk, rock 'n' roll and even country, all filtered through the Tablerockers' blues sensibilities. The result is a high-powered blues attack featuring the smokin' guitar and soulful vocals of Baby Jason Davis, and the tight grooves provided by Larry Boehmer on bass and David Watson on drums. Guitarist and vocalist, Baby Jason, toured for 10 years with his trio, "Baby Jason and the Spankers".

Grayson Capps and the Stumpknockers
I write songs which have the voice of dead prophets masquerading as town drunks screaming 'look at us we're pretty, too!' I've been playing guitar and singing for nearly twenty years now. I've played theaters, festivals, radio shows, t.v. shows, whiskey-beer crusted barrooms, living rooms, and camp fires. Some people call me a preacher others a poet, a singer, a guitar player, a landscaper,
but I am only an actor strutting and fretting across the stage. I still have to use a shovel. I still have to dig in the dirt. But,
I tell you what, I have a beautiful daughter named Sadie, a house on Music St., and my first solo record coming out in the spring.
Bobby and Fred are dead, but my father is alive and well in Alabama about to have a novel published. No one knows what tomorrow will bring, but songs are still sung by those who continue to sing.

Sunday 7/6
Eric Sardinas
Eric's signature brand of Delta dynamite has been a long time in the making. At the incredible early age of six, he already had his fingers on the fret board. Though born a lefty, he naturally gravitated towards playing the guitar as a right-hander. Admittedly, this could be considered a difficult approach, but it never slowed Sardinas down. In fact, it's actually been a major contributing factor in the formation of his unique style and specialized technique.

The Country Side of Lazy Lester on his 75th birthday
Back when blues was king and South Louisiana was the breeding ground for a blast of some of the most memorable American music ever recorded, at the heart of it was Lazy Lester. Those days are gone, and so too are most of its luminaries. And yet Lester carries the tradition almost single-handedly around the world several times over each year. As a true living legend, his talents are as much in demand as ever

Leon Russell (Rock)
Leon Russell is a music legend and perhaps the most accomplished and versatile musician in the history of rock 'n roll. In his distinguished and unique 50 year career, he has played on, arranged, written and/or produced some of the best records in popular music. As a songwriter, Leon's songs have hit the charts across all genres and have been covered by a diverse range of artists. Ray Charles recorded 'A Song For You', B.B. King had a hit with 'Hummingbird', The Carpenters with 'Superstar' and Joe Cocker with 'Delta Lady'. The Carpenter's cover of "Superstar", written by Leon and Bonnie Bramlett, went to #2 on the pop music charts. George Benson won the "Record of the Year" Grammy in 1976 for his cover of Leon's song, "This Masquerade", and it became the first song in music history to hit #1 on the jazz, pop and R&b charts. catch him live and still playing your favorites here at Knuckleheads

The DUHKS (DUCKS) Acoustic / Afro-beat / Folk Rock
The most vital acoustic music being made today acknowledges its predecessors
and lives in the here and now. For four years now, The Duhks, the band of five skilled, high-energy, tattooed twenty-somethings from Winnipeg, Manitoba, has been riveting audiences and winning staunch fans across North America and around the world with just that kind of music. The band has won admirers as diverse as David Crosby, Dolly Parton, and Doc Watson. This is not surprising, given their Duhks-alone blend of soul, gospel, North American folk, Brazilian samba, old time country string band, zydeco, and Irish dance music, and the attack they bring to these interwoven acoustic styles—which might as well be called sheer rock and roll.
Their unique sound has also earned them a Grammy Award nomination in the Best Country Vocal Performance by a Group or Duo category, one Juno Award, two additional Juno nominations, two Folk Alliance awards, and an Americana Music Association

Walt Wilkins and the Mystiqueros
San Antonio-born Walt Wilkins has been called a genius, more than once, and a writer the caliber of John Steinbeck and his voice as comfortable as a pair of old blue jeans, and he is, and has, all of that. His crafting of story-songs, hard-edged vocals to sing them and a plaintive guitar have made him a fixture of the Texas music scene (and Nashville before that. He’s put his magical touch on recordings by new and veteran artists, too many to count. Wilkins says this is the most fun he’s ever had playing music in a band in 30 years. He describes the music of The Mystiqueros (nicknamed mq5) as highly reminiscent of ’70s country rock from Texas and the West Coast and blues and soul that members grew up listening to and features high-quality songwriting and musicianship, rhythm, and vocal arrangements.

Theodis Ealey (Blues/R & B)
Sometimes no matter how much great work an artist produces there's one piece that just bursts thru the stratosphere and impacts an audience to the point that artist and the work become irreducible in the minds of folks. For Mr. Theodis Ealey that piece is "Stand Up In It". A good ole Southern Soul song with a cheeky message that's become one of the biggest hits to come out of the famed "chitlin' circuit" in the modern era.

with Elizabeth Cook (Roots)
It’s a rare performer who will dare to take on the industry on her own hogs-and-kisses terms. But for the artist whom Nanci Griffith has called “this generation’s Loretta Lynn,” it takes a certain tenacity to meld smart attitude with classic tradition, the credibility of a life lived with genuine hillbilly passion, and the integrity to write an acclaimed cache of uncommonly cool songs. In other words, for Elizabeth Cook, it takes Balls, and having Balls is just the beginning.

Unknown Hinson (THE KING OF COUNTRY WESTERN TROUBADOURS )
This ain’t your "Three Stooges Knuckleheads", this is the "Road Rumble with the King" Knuckleheads. Be prepared to party.
Free cans of Whoop Ass to anyone singing along with the King. A show to tell your grandkids about. while you’re explaining the tattoo of Unknown Hinson on your forehead.
Looking somewhat like Dracula's nasty little brother who spent some hard years drinking and working as a carnival barker for a second-rate freak show, Unknown Hinson translates that vibe to his style of country and western-tinged psychobilly. Hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina, this red-necked crooner gained regional popularity with a self-produced television show in 1992 and soon was touring nationwide, wowing audiences with his outrageous and campy, white-trash persona and freewheeling, sleazy tone. Hinson’s most recent CD release, “Target Practice”, melds weepy twang and searing guitar riffs and lyrics that speak of love-gone-bad and the dark side of the honky-tonk lifestyle. Raucous, theatrical and over-the-top, Unknown Hinson isn’t just for the trailer park set anymore!

John Corbett
An esteemed actor known for his naturalness in off-beat roles,
Corbett accepts that his first album will be met with excitement by some,
skepticism by others. He wants both camps to put aside preconceptions
—and put on the music.As an actor, Corbett’s always brought an easy grace
to his roles,whether it’s in the acclaimed TV series Sex and the City and
Northern Exposure or in the hit films My Big Fat Greek Weddingand
Raising Helen. His music carries the same natural, down-to-earth spirit
—only this is not role-playing.

Monte Montgomery
Monte Montgomery has taken the acoustic guitar beyond anyone's expectations. With his amazing fretwork and his unique combination of finger and pick style, he plays through trailblazing "chordal" thoroughfares, often baffling even the most accomplished players. While Monte remains a huge enigma in the guitar universe, his legendary reputation has spread like wildfire since he appeared on Austin City Limits. In 2004 Monte was named on Guitar Player Magazine's list of "Top 50 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time" and in 2005 he was featured the Covers of "Frets" and "Acoustic Guitar" magazines. Countless articles have been written about Monte describing him "The Evel Knivel of Guitar", "Six Strings Attached To Dynamite", "The Answer To The Fermi Paradox" and "The Acoustic Shred Master" just to name a few. Monte's fretwork has become the benchmark for acoustic guitar players. "An American Original", there is no doubt Monte Montgomery is destined to become An American Legend.

Wayne "The Train"Hancock (Juke Joint Swing)
with special guests The Garrett Nordstrom Situation
Wayne has been called "the master of Hillbilly swing," a "roots Renaissance man," a "country singer's country singer" and "Hank Williams meets Gershwin." But the phrase most frequently echoed throughout his career is "Wayne Hancock is the real deal." Joe Ely said it, Hank Williams III said it, Bobby Koefer from the Texas Playboys said it, as have countless music fans and writers when referring to Hancock's authentic and original blend of honky tonk, western swing, blues and big band that he calls "Juke Joint Swing".
