STEVIE RAY VAUGHN

---

 Bishop Gunn released their debut album Natchez in May 2018.  Rolling Stone Country featured the band as “Artists You Need to Know,” asserting “anyone can cite the Muscle Shoals sound as an influence, but few acts can actually pull off making music worthy of such a claim.  Bishop Gunn is one of those acts. The resulting music is the perfect blend of Nashville and the Shoals, and is the rare album that builds upon its influences rather than resorting to outright mimicry.” 

 Winter's first Columbia album, Johnny Winter, was recorded and released in 1969. It featured the same backing musicians with whom he had recorded The Progressive Blues Experiment, bassist Tommy Shannon and drummer Uncle John Turner, plus Edgar Winter on keyboards and saxophone, and (for his "Mean Mistreater") Willie Dixon on upright bass and Big Walter Horton  on harmonica. 

 Songwriter. Guitarist. Singer. Bandleader.  At only 23 years of age,  Marcus King’s dazzling musical ability is evident throughout The Marcus  King Band, the young phenom’s 2nd full-length LP and first for Fantasy  Records.  Operating within the fiery brand of American roots music that  King calls "soul-influenced psychedelic southern rock," the album  highlights King’s gorgeous, rough-hewn vocals, soaring guitar work and  heartfelt songwriting.

Guitarist Shaw Davis and his band the Black Ties lay down some hefty doses of psychedelic blues and roots rock.

The 23-year-old Davis has become well known for his raw, emotional style. The band has won enthusiastic fans around the nation just two years since its inception in Florida. The trio has played more than 300 shows, headlined festivals around the country, and opened for all-star acts, including G.E. Smith, Popa Chubby,Samantha Fish and Mike Zito.
