John Lisi and Delta Funk
“Lisi mixed blues, funk and rock so well I don’t wanna put a label on what he did … go see this band before they get too big for your britches.” – Live New Orleans. More about John Lisi here.
Perry and the Pumpers
Kicking off the festival this year is Perry and the Pumpers, bringing both some of the best of our area’s old guard and one of our finest younger Blues torch bearers. See our complete take on this fine band here.
