2120 South Michigan Avenue - 2120 South Michigan Avenue is a 5-piece blues band in the tradition of the great Chicago bands of the 1950's and '60's. In fact, the band takes its name from the Chicago address of Chess Records, the studio where Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter Jacobs and others recorded the great songs that form the backbone of our repertoire.

But 2120's song list isn't confined to just Windy City blues. We play Texas and Memphis blues, too, as well as R&B classics and bluesy ballads. In the same set you might hear both "Fever" and "Born in Chicago;" Jerry Lee Lewis "Great Balls Of Fire" plus the classic "Mystery Train;" Sam Cooke's "Bring It on Home to Me" followed by the Memphis sound of "Next Time You See Me" and the Texas T-Birds sound of "Rock With Me Tonight." http://home.comcast.net/~cherhoyt/2120.htm

Two Ton Heavy Thing - These fellows play a unique brand of contemporary blues that manages to capture the old eery spell of the originals (I think of Robert Johnson). Each of these guys is exceptional in his own right, but the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. There's no flash or teen angst, but just feet planted firmly in their own brand of delta mud. As a kid, Bonnie Raitt was able to put such spirit across...long time ago. For my dime, I am not aware of any better blues being played today than the tunes of II Ton Heavy Thing. http://www.myspace.com/iitonheavything

The 4-Door Ramblers - Formed in December of 2003, The 4-Door Ramblers combine some of the most experienced players in North Alabama to produce one of the best bands around. From covers of blues acts such as BB King, Freddie King, and Albert King to more recent rock legends such as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, and Eric Clapton, 4-DR combines the heart and soul of the blues with the excitement of rock and roll. http://www.4doorramblers.com/

46 Long - Find out why four mohawk-sporting punkers crowding the stage at the 2009 Midpoint Music Festival were whooping and hollering and leading the cheers for....an acoustic Blues duo!? Here's a hint: we want the groove just as much as our fans do, and we WILL throw down. Definitely NOT your usual Blues duo....No pork pie hats, shades, or any of that "sho-'nuff I got de Blues" crap. We're just gonna kick a little ass... http://www.46long.com/  http://www.myspace.com/46long

56 Deluxe (Featuring AZ Kenny Tsak)* - Few musicians emerge with an artistry so intense it can almost create a new genre. AZ Kenny Tsak has done just that. Plowing a path between the rootsy and the revolutionary, Kenny combines Country and Blues with a classic rock swagger, exuding passion in a live performance that electrifies audiences, from Albert Collins to Johnny Winter and ZZ Top. 

Embodying all the signatures of a truly great artist, Kenny lights up stages across the country with his blazing fretwork, assisted by the 56 Deluxe band, featuring formidable bass player Avery T. Horton , Jr. His blazing fretwork hypnotizes fans, as Kenny plays from the heart with feeling, soul and emotion, embodying a unique mastery of styles and demonstrating a true passion that cannot be attained through lessons, but from a deep love of the craft. Ask any audience member, and they will tell you Kenny is a guitar thriller who excites his listeners each and every time he plays a tune.   http://www.56deluxe.com/   http://www.myspace.com/56deluxe
