MITCH KASHMAR: Mitch Kashmar is one of the most soulful and powerful blues singers in the business today, black or white. His blues harp playing is second to none for creativity, drive and excitement. Over the course of his career Kashmar has achieved what so many set out to do, but few can accomplish; he has found his own voice. From his humble beginnings in the early 80's in Santa Barbara with The Pontiax, to sharing the stage at London's Royal Albert Hall in 2008 with legendary British rocker Eric Burdon & War, Kashmar's own unique talent has always shone through. A two-time Blues Music Award nominee, Kashmar has shared the stage with some of the biggest names in blues over the years and they've all known what the rest of the world is about to find out: Mitch Kashmar is a force to be reckoned with.

RANDY CHORTKOFF: Randy Chortkoff is a man thoroughly possessed and consumed by the Blues. He's made it his life's work to spread the power and message of the Blues to as many people as he can find who are willing to listen. From humble musician to concert promoter; to record producer and ultimately CEO of Delta & Eclecto Groove Records, Chortkoff's boundless passion and conviction for the blues is inexhaustible. As the founding member of The Mannish Boys, Chortkoff has helped preserve the raw sensibility and time tested tradition that encapsulates the blues, while also capturing the attentive ears of music fans around the world.

BIG PETE: Dutch blues vocalist and harp master Pieter "Big Pete" van der Pluijm may not have been a familiar name to American blues audiences before 2010, but he was already well-established in the Netherlands – his native home base in North-West Europe. At 23, Pete was handpicked for a European memorial tour to honor the music and memory of legendary harmonica player and vocalist Lester Butler (the Red Devils and Thirteen), backed by several of Lester's original band mates. Pete's informal introduction to the U.S. market materialized in March 2010 with his appearance on The Mannish Boys' 5th anniversary release "Shake For Me". In 2011, Pete made his official American solo album debut with an incredible all-star recording line-up. "Choice Cuts" proved to be an instant classic, and got nominated for a Blues Music Award in the category 'best album debut'. A Big Pete show, is not to be missed by anyone who considers themselves a true blues lover!

RJ MISCHO: RJ Mischo's formal music career got its start over 30 years ago while working his way up through the thriving Minneapolis blues scene—his first paying gig came by way of Mississippi-bred singer/guitarist Percy Strother in the late-1970s. By the early '80s, Mischo was working with Muddy Waters' band alumni, George "Mojo" Buford, and had discovered the secrets to achieving a full-tone on his harmonica via tongue-blocking, a method taught to him by recent Los Angeles transplant, Lynwood Slim, who had taken up residence in Minneapolis at the time. About a year after establishing an all-star blues jam with guitarist Teddy Morgan every Sunday evening at the Five Corners Bar in 1991, the pair released their collaborative debut effort, "Ready To Go," featuring vocalist Percy Strother on Blue Moon Records. Mischo's first official solo album, "Gonna Rock Tonight," followed in '94. Mischo continued to release top-shelf recordings, building up an impressive and sizable catalog in the process, while always employing the services of high caliber musicians such as Jeremy Johnson, Steve Freund, Junior Watson, Frank Goldwasser, Rusty Zinn, Kid Andersen, Barrelhouse Chuck, June Core and Richard Innes.
