SUMMARY:Toronzo Cannon
DESCRIPTION:“exceptionally gifted… man\, he can play” – Blues Blast\n  \n“I want my songs to be heard and experienced\, not just listened to\,” says cliché-defying\, internationally beloved Chicago bluesman Toronzo Cannon. Cannon is on the cutting edge of today’s contemporary blues scene. Further\, critics hail him as one of the genre’s most creative artists. Fans love him for his richly detailed\, truth-telling original songs\, blistering\, inventive guitar work and impassioned vocals.  \nHere\, his heroes inspire his sound. For example\, Hound Dog Taylor\, Muddy Waters\, Elmore James\, Albert King\, Son Seals and Jimi Hendrix. Moreover\, on his latest release\, 2024’s Shut Up And Play!\, Cannon blazes his own path with eleven emotionally charged originals. Thus\, his powerful\, cathartic guitar solos and his soulfully authoritative voice fuel his imaginative songs. \nShut Up And Play! features Cannon\, a former Chicago bus driver\, delivering timeless stories of common experiences. Further\, his lyrics are set ablaze by his passionate and focused guitar playing. Here\, Cannon sings of the heartbreak of lost love\, the humor of daily life\, and the pain of feeling invisible. Chicago’s New City declared\, “Toronzo Cannon spins the innate human capacity of misery and regret into a kind of furious ecstasy.” \n“I write what I know\, what I feel\,” Cannon says. “Listen to the lyrics. I am a Black man in America. These are NOT protest songs. I try to create honest\, common sense understanding with my songs.” \nCannon has earned ten Blues Music Award nominations. Further\, as his fan base expands\, so do his friendships with famous musicians. Gary Clark\, Jr. declared\, “Toronzo is a beast. He lights the room up.” Also\, Joe Bonamassa rightly pronounced\, “Toronzo’s a great guitar player\, excellent vocalist and an amazing personality.” \nRecommended for fans of Lonnie Brooks\, Walter Trout\, Bernard Allison and Corey Stevens.

SUMMARY:Ana Popovic
DESCRIPTION:“one helluva guitar player” – Bruce Springsteen\n  \nLos Angeles-based\, critically acclaimed guitarist and singer Ana Popovic released her latest album\, Dance To The Rhythm\, in 2025. Here\, the album showcases a groundbreaking fusion of groove\, blues\, funk\, and soul.  \nBuilding 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.  \nAna 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.  \nA 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.  \nShe’s received seven Blues Music Awards nominations\, and her latest album\, 2023’s Power\, hit Number One on the Billboard Blues Chart. Additionally\, Ana has shared stages with legends like B.B. King\, Joe Bonamassa\, Warren Haynes\, Robert Plant\, and Gary Clark Jr. \nRecommended for fans of Joe Bonamassa\, Gary Clark Jr.\, Buddy Guy and Eric Gales.

This is my embryonic journey and much\, much more!” \nRecommended for fans of Hot Tuna\, Jefferson Airplane\, Leo Kottke and Doc Watson.
