Dani Wilde (UK)
British blues and soul singer Dani Wilde grew up in Hullavington in Wiltshire, where her father’s record collection, full of Motown, Stax, and Chess sides, convinced her that she wanted to sing and perform, and by the age of 17 she was opening for the likes of Maddy Prior. When she turned 18, Wilde moved to Brighton to pursue a degree in music and took whatever singing spots she could find, quickly finding an audience, and by the end of 2006 she was opening for Jools Holland at the Royal Albert Hall. Blessed with a soulful voice, a unique guitar style, and a deep knowledge of the blues, Wilde caught the attention of blues label Ruf Records and signed with the imprint in 2007, releasing her debut album, Heal My Blues, a year later in 2008. Wilde toured the blues festival circuit behind the album, then returned to the studio with blues producer Mike Vernon to record her second album, Shine, which was released in the summer of 2011. She next teamed with Samantha Fish and Cassie Taylor for the blues sampler album Girls with Guitars, which also appeared from Ruf Records in 2011.

Sunday Wilde (CAN)
Sunday Wilde is from the wilds of a northern Ontario small town Atikoban, and has been found singing everywhere from small logging towns at funeral parlours, and blues joints and all the way to large festivals, and bars in bustling metropolises. She is a powerful and intense vocalist, a rare voice that speaks from the primal soul. Sunday is a songwriter who explores the subjects of grief, addiction, love and the torment of social and family dysfunction. Her lyrics and delivery make it abundantly clear that she speaks from experience and authority. She has six albums of mostly original music.

Will Wilde (UK)
Will Wilde hails from Brighton and his first foray into performing was when he formed The Neptune Blues Band in 2005 when he was 17 years old, and released his debut album “Nothin’ But Trouble” in 2008. Since then he has released two studio and one live album under his own name.
He comes from a musical family. “Music was always around me.” He says. “British hard rock and blues was the soundtrack to my childhood.” His grandfather was a wartime jazz ‘n’ blues pianist and his sister, Dani Wilde, is an acclaimed blues performer with whom I’m sure you are familiar.
Wilde studied drums at the Brighton Institute of Modern Music and yet it was the harmonica, guitar and vocals that ended up captivating him. None more so than the harmonica, obviously. Will is often called "the Hendrix on Harmonica".

JD Wilkes & The Dirty Daubers (USA)
JD Wilkes & The Dirt Daubers are an American roots music band. They are inspired by blues and other traditional Southern music genres. The frontman for the band is JD Wilkes of the Legendary Shack Shakers. In 2012, the group reformed as "JD Wilkes and the Dirt Daubers" to record for Plowboy Records, the Nashville label run by Shannon Pollard, grandson of Eddy Arnold. After adding drummer Preston Corn and Shack Shakers' guitarist Rod Hamdallah, the group incorporated a wider range of American styles, from rockabilly to R&B, as is showcased on the 2013 release Wild Moon. Several of their old-time tunes were reworked for the electric live set, including "Get Outta My Way" and "Sugar Baby". The group formed in Paducah, Kentucky in 2009. Their self-titled debut album was released on October 13, 2009, on Arkam Records. The album notes also give performance credits to label owner Jamie Barrier and Katie Barrier, both of The Pine Hill Haints. Barrier is also the great nephew of The Barrier Brothers bluegrass group. In June 2010, Hendrickson left to concentrate more on his job as a blacksmith, and the band performed several tours with Legendary Shack Shakers member/producer Mark Robertson on stand-up bass.

Arthur Williams (USA)
Arthur Williams ws born on 7th July 1937 in Tunica/MS.
When he was 9, Arthur Williams sneaked one of his father’s harmonicas to school, went into the bathroom and began to blow. His family had moved from Mississippi to the Chicago suburb of Argo when Williams was 2. “They wanted to better themselves,” he says of his parents. “They got tired of the cotton-picking fields.” His dad got a job at the Argo Starch Co., where some of Williams’ uncles already worked. Williams attended high school at Dunbar Vocational Career Academy with Sam Cooke and Pervis Staples. In 1972, after a short time in the Army and dead-end jobs working in Mississippi cotton and bean fields, he and his wife moved to St. Louis, where she had friends.Six years earlier, he made his recording debut, backing Frank Frost on Jewel Records. From there, the list of blues legends he played with grew long and impressive: Elmore James, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Jimmy Reed, Hound Dog Taylor and Eddie Taylor. Now, as he nears 81, his career has turned to the big screen. The wisecracking, fast-talking Williams will appear later this year in “Honeydripper,” a movie directed by John Sayles and starring Danny Glover. Williams will be seen working the door of a juke joint in the early 1950s. The film was shot in Alabama. He liked the Hollywood treatment but has no intention of giving up his regular gig.

Big Joe Williams (USA)
Joseph Lee "Big Joe" Williams (October 16, 1903 – December 17, 1982) was an American Delta blues guitarist, singer and songwriter, notable for the distinctive sound of his nine-string guitar. Performing over four decades, he recorded the songs "Baby Please Don't Go", "Crawlin' King Snake" and "Peach Orchard Mama", among many others, for various record labels, including Bluebird, Delmark, Okeh, Prestige and Vocalion. He was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame on October 4, 1992.
The blues historian Barry Lee Pearson (Sounds Good to Me: The Bluesman's Story, Virginia Piedmont Blues) described Williams's performance:When I saw him playing at Mike Bloomfield's "blues night" at the Fickle Pickle, Williams was playing an electric nine-string guitar through a small ramshackle amp with a pie plate nailed to it and a beer can dangling against that. When he played, everything rattled but Big Joe himself. The total effect of this incredible apparatus produced the most buzzing, sizzling, African-sounding music I have ever heard.
