“Scorching and soulful, joyous and stomping.” – Living Blues

2024 BLUES FOUNDATION HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE

In Chicago, a city overflowing with unrivaled blues talent, world-renowned Lil’ Ed & The Blues Imperials have been standing tall for over thirty years. There, the band’s big sound is as real and hard-hitting as Chicago blues gets. It’s fueled by Lil’ Ed’s gloriously rollicking slide work and deep blues string bending, along with his rough-edged, soulful vocals. The Chicago Sun-Times says, “Lil’ Ed & The Blues Imperials are the hottest purveyors of bottleneck boogie to come out of Chicago since Hound Dog Taylor.”
Lil’ Ed Williams comes to the blues naturally. His uncle, slide guitar king and master songwriter J.B. Hutto, taught him how to feel, not just play the blues. Nine albums and thousands of performances later, Lil’ Ed is now universally hailed as a giant of the genre. Additionally, the band includes bassist (and Ed’s half-brother) James “Pookie” Young, guitarist Mike Garrett and drummer Kelly Littleton. Also, they have remained together for over thirty years, an extraordinary feat for any group. Moreover, the band fuels Ed’s songs with their rock-solid, road-tested, telepathic musicianship.
The group took home the Living Blues Award for Best Live Performer in 2011, 2012 and 2013. They won the prestigious Blues Music Award for Band Of The Year in both 2007 and 2009. The Associated Press says, “Williams fills Chicago’s biggest shoes with more life and heat than anyone on stage today.”
Their infectious energy, joyful showmanship and masterful playing have been honed to a razor’s edge by their many years together. Lil’ Ed, Pookie, Mike and Kelly have seen sports stars and presidents, musical fads and fashion trends come and go.

Davina and The Vagabonds
2026-03-14 19:00 - 21:00, 2026-07-04 19:00 - 21:00
“This music, as retro as it may be at times, feels fun, frisky and alive.” – American Songwriter

Davina Sowers and the Vagabonds have created a stir on the national music scene. Their high-energy live shows feature level-A musicianship, sharp-dressed professionalism and Sowers’ commanding stage presence. Also, their influences range from Fats Domino and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band to Aretha Franklin and Tom Waits. Moreover, the band is converting audiences one show at a time, from Vancouver to Miami and across Europe.
Much like the music, the story spurns era, expectation and classification. The often unbelievable, sometimes harrowing, and wholly inspiring journey of Davina Sowers gave birth to her eponymous band in 2004. As the tale goes, she grew up in the economically depressed Allegheny town of Altoona, PA. She now describes the town as “awesome in the industrial era, but horrible for high school.” Then, she was adopted by her stepfather when he was in his 80s; he passed when she was just 13. Through him and his Edison phonograph, she first heard the music that would start her journey. For example, The Ink Spots, Sidney Bechet, Louis Armstrong, Louis Prima, Sister Rosetta Tharpe and many others. “Great man. He was my angel and still is,” she says.
On her own, she vividly recalls hours in front of the record player at home. There, she religiously spun Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Simon and Garfunkel records belonging to her folk singer mom.
To this day, Davina still refers to music as “my first and eternal love.” Despite early dalliances with classical piano and guitar, she developed a heavy drug habit in high school. Further, this morphed into heroin dependency, left her homeless, sent her in and out of jail and brought on all manner of trouble. Kicking dope on the streets, she “got clean, started the band and worked [her] ass off every day since.”

JD Simo & Luther Dickinson: Do The Rump! Tour
2026-03-20 19:00 - 21:00
“straight-up blues with a razor edge guitar slash.” – Americana Highways

Two of the most electrifying forces in modern roots music converge! Luther Dickinson (North Mississippi Allstars, The Black Crowes) joins JD Simo (Chris Isaak, Jack White, Beyoncé, Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis). Here, they unite as a soul-shaking trio with powerhouse drummer Adam Abrashoff. Their chemistry is deep, their grooves are dirty, and their shows are a masterclass in high-octane, roots-infused blues.
Luther, a four-time Grammy nominee, is celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of North Mississippi Allstars and a brand-new album. Thus, he is proving his commitment to pushing Hill Country blues forward. JD, meanwhile, has built a career on fearless reinvention. In addition to touring with Chris Isaak, he’s a key creative on the upcoming Bruce Springsteen biopic Deliver Me from Nowhere. There, he worked closely with both Bruce and director Scott Cooper, supervised the music script, and coached lead actor Jeremy Allen White (The Bear). Additionally, he contributed heavily to the film’s score and soundtrack.
Their collaborative album Do The Rump! has been making waves, with lead single “Come On” hitting #1 on SiriusXM Bluesville. Furthermore, the sound is raw, hypnotic, and thrillingly alive—equal parts Hill Country trance, psych-soul, and electrified jam.
These trio shows are rare. The music is greasy. And this is your chance to feel it live.

Louisiana Calling
2026-03-25 19:00 - 21:00
“fusing blues, Latin, classic R&B, zydeco, Cajun, Tex-Mex, and roots rock” – AllMusic

New frontiers fit nicely atop the boundary-breaking career of singer songwriter and slide guitar icon Sonny Landreth. He has performed live with Buddy Guy and John Hiatt in theaters and arenas around the United States. Also, post-New Orleans Jazz Fest jamming on bayou rhythms with Oteil Burbridge and Johnny Vidacovich. Further, he has recorded and played live with ukulele phenom Jake Shimabukuro at The Blue Note in Hawaii. Thus, it has been a noteworthy couple of years for the two time Grammy nominee. And those are just his side projects.
Landreth explains his continually expanding musical horizons. “One of the things I love about collaborations with other artists is the element of surprise. When the chemistry is there, it is always inspiring to find new twists and turns that up the game creatively.”
What if Americana actually encompassed ALL of North America? You’d have the Franco-Acadian inflections of Canada, as best exemplified by the accordion. Then, you’d have blues and jazz, the U.S.’s most original art form. Also, the lilting grace and fiery passion of the music of Mexico. You’d also have New Orleans’ premiere distillers of this continental musical mélange, The Iguanas.
Their three-decade ride has taken them all over the map musically and geographically. However, the inescapable patina of their hometown infuses every note they play. They have produced eight studio albums among countless tours and Jazz Fest appearances. They survived a flood that did its best to take their adopted city with it. Therefore, it’s a testament to the band’s endurance that the same four guys that started playing in the early 1990s are still together.

Building on the success of her previous work, Dance To The Rhythm pushes boundaries. There, she seamlessly blends infectious dance grooves with raw blues guitar and powerful lyrics. The album weaves a rich tapestry of musical styles, reflecting Popovic’s masterful versatility.
Ana says: “One of my biggest strengths on stage is my ability to make people dance. Music should take you to a place where you can let go, feel the groove, and move. You want music to grab you, to have a pocket that you can’t resist. Everything else revolves around it. Blues guitar has never really been part of dance music before, and in that way, it’s revolutionary. Guitar plays a central role in these tracks, breaking down the boundaries created by time, culture, and musical traditions. With this album, I’m pushing those boundaries.” For Ana, blues guitar is the foundation of everything in her music. Yet, she masterfully blends genres, effortlessly shifting from blues to dance, jam band, funk, pop, and even gospel. Thus, it’s all part of her evolving sound.
A true pioneer, Ana combines her blues guitar roots with bold experimentation, redefining the intersection of blues and dance music. Her live performances are electrifying, blending fierce guitar work with irresistible rhythms that compel audiences to move.

Multiple award-winning guitarist, vocalist, and bandleader Tommy Castro is a California-based blues and rock powerhouse. Here, he captivates audiences with his soul-drenched vocals, searing guitar work, and high-energy live shows. Furthermore, as frontman of the telepathically tight and wildly raucous Tommy Castro & The Painkillers, he’s released seventeen albums.

Castro is one of the most decorated artists in contemporary blues, winning ten Blues Music Awards. Furthermore, these include four B.B. King Entertainer of the Year honors—the genre’s highest accolade.

“a living link to the old blues tradition.” – Mick Jagger

If anyone knows where to find the blues, it’s Taj Mahal, a brilliant artist with a musicologist’s mind.

“mix of Neil Young meets Jackson Browne style” – Glide

On his seventeenth album, singer-songwriter Anders Osborne describes 2024’s Picasso’s Villa, “a condensed story about living in America between 2018-2021. The fears, confusion, deep joy and peace achieved through true friendship, family, community, hours of meditation and detachment from ego.”
Further, Osborne has been in a twelve-step program for fifteen years. He explains, “The biggest change in getting sober was the focus on meditation and prayer, just looking more inward. When I’m sleeping in 140 different beds a year, eating unhealthy foods, meditation is what keeps me centered. Holding myself in that sacred space for a while is what makes it possible for me to do all this.”
After living and performing in New Orleans for almost four decades, Osborne has become a fixture of that musical community. Thus, Guitar Player called him “the poet laureate of Louisiana’s fertile roots music scene.” Also, New Orleans’ Gambit Weekly honored Osborne as Entertainer of The Year. Additionally, OffBeat named him the Crescent City’s Best Guitarist on three occasions, and the Best Songwriter twice. He has appeared at Jazz Fest for over thirty-five years.
In addition to his solo shows, Osborne performed with the North Mississippi All-Stars, Toots and the Maytals, and John Scofield. Also, The Meters, Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, Stanton Moore, Phil Lesh, Jackie Greene, Bonnie Raitt, Dr. John, and Taj Mahal. Osborne appeared as himself in an episode of the HBO series Treme. Also, he taught a course about art and the music business at Tulane University. Osborne has collaborated with Steve Earle at the annual Camp Copperhead songwriting camp since 2019.

We want to be part of doing that for traditional Blues music.”
GA-20 has drawn inspiration for their old-school sounds from the music they love by artists such as Otis Rush, J.B. Lenoir, Howlin’ Wolf, Junior Wells, Hound Dog Taylor, Earl Hooker, Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson and so many others. Performing with what feels like reckless abandon, GA-20 brings a timeless immediacy to every song they play with a sound that continues to grow and evolve.

Vieux Farka Touré

“Notes fall from his fingers like rain on to water… kaleidoscopic” – Guardian

Vieux Farka Touré, often called “The Hendrix of the Sahara”, hails from Niafunké, Mali. He is the son of legendary Malian guitar player Ali Farka Touré, who died in 2006. Ali came from a historical tribe of soldiers and defied his parents by becoming a musician. Thus, when Vieux reached his teens, he declared that he also wanted to be a musician. However, his father disapproved because of the pressures he had experienced as a musician. Rather, he wanted Vieux to become a soldier. Vieux eventually convinced his father to give him his blessing to pursue music shortly before Ali passed.
Initially, Vieux played drums and calabash at Mali’s Institut National des Arts, but he secretly began playing guitar in 2001. When Vieux announced plans to record an album, cancer had already weakened Ali Farka Touré. Ali recorded a couple of tracks with him. There, those recordings, which appear on Vieux’s debut CD, rank among Ali’s final ones.
When the COVID pandemic hit in 2020 and all touring ground to a halt, Vieux stayed focused on his craft at home. He worked tirelessly in the studio he built at his family’s compound. The resulting album, 2022’s Les Racines, finds Vieux returning to his deep roots. Here, he explores the desert blues music that he spent most of his career experimenting with and expanding. In 2022 Vieux and Houston-based psych-rock superstars Khruangbin released a long-awaited collaborative album. Sir Elton John called it “one of the albums of the year – absolutely wonderful music.”
With each new project Vieux broadens his horizons, embraces new challenges and further entrenches his reputation as one of the world’s most talented and innovative musicians.
