Young blues rocker Kenny Wayne Shepherd has won praise from many critics & generated a surprising amount of commercial radio play. Joe Willie "Pinetop" Perkins, now in his 90s, created a style of playing that has influenced three generations of piano players and will continue to be the yardstick by which blues pianists are measured. The master of the boogie woogie began playing piano in l942. Born in Two Rivers, WI, but now living in New Orleans, guitarist Bryan Lee offers his own "six-string therapy" to those ready to listen. His recordings include 'Live at the Old Absinthe House,' 'Crawfish Lady' and 'Six String Therapy' with Duke Robillard. Hubert Sumlin is a guitar pioneer who played beside the legendary Howlin' Wolf.
