Portland, Oregon roots artist Lloyd Jones has recorded
six critically acclaimed albums, toured internationally, and racked up dozens of major awards and accolades.

He’s a relentless road dog, hitting festival stages, Delbert’s annual Sandy Beaches Cruises (he’s been a regular on six winter cruises), and clubs all across the land to enthusiastic crowds who can’t get enough of his swampy blues, his back-porch picking, serious-as-anthrax funk, soul, roadhouse two-beats, old-school rhythm and blues.

Yet he may be the most invisible, best-kept Roots/Blues/Americana secret on the contemporary scene.

Hailing from Japan, TokyoTramps is a group of American roots music fanatics. Based out of Boston since 1999, they’ve been playing 100+ shows a year, traveling from New York to New Orleans, from Memphis to Hollywood,

While playing their unique style of blues with Asian
sensibility, they courageously create a new path where no one has walked on.

Their show is full of energy, fun, joy, passion, and love. They have participated in International Blues Challenge 2011. They just released their sixth original album, Rollin’ Rockland Blues Hour.

George Worthmore, a star in the New York City music scene for over twenty years, began with a one-year stint as a guitarist with Kinky Friedman. He’s played backup guitar for Bo Diddley, Ben E. King, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, Lou Christy, and The Platters. He has also played shows as a second guitarist with Hot Tuna.

He immigrated to South Africa in 1997 where he owned and operated the world famous Blues Room, that country’s number one, award winning, live music venue.

Since 2004 he has expanded his performing into film and TV and has acted with William H. Macy, Robert Vaughn, and Ron Perlman.

His current show is a tour de force of solo acoustic guitar, from Ragtime to Blues, with some Bach thrown in for the more serious appreciators of the instrument. The music is interlaced with humorous comments and amusing stories about the songs and his experiences.
