6 p.m.

 Lloyd Jones Band 

Portland, Oregon roots artist Lloyd Jones has recorded six critically acclaimed albums, toured internationally, and racked up dozens of major awards and accolades. He’s a relentless road dog, hitting festival stages, Delbert’s annual Sandy Beaches Cruises (he’s been a regular on six winter cruises), and clubs all across the land to enthusiastic crowds who can’t get enough of his swampy blues, his backporch picking, his serious-as-anthrax funk, soul, roadhouse two-beats, and old-school rhythm and blues (back before the R&B tag was somehow appropriated for other musical purposes, apparently when we weren’t looking). Yet he may be the most invisible, best-kept roots/blues/Americana secret on the contemporary scene.

  
8 p.m.


CASH BOX KINGS

Considered the "Young Turks" of the Chicago blues scene, the Cash box Kings are dedicated tare dedicated to carrying on the spirit of the 1940's and 50's post-war Chicago blues sound as well as the Delta blues music of the 20’s and 30’s.  But these illustrious torch bearers also add a bravado, energy and freshness to the mix that results in a distinctive musical experience.  With a focus on the raw, stripped-down, ensemble playing that was the hallmark of the post-war sound, the band showcases the music of Chess Records and Sun Records while adding a healthy dose of original music that captures the essence of the Memphis and Chicago blues sounds of the 40’s and 50’s.

 DOG HOUSE KITCHEN


Dog House Kitchen is a group of musicians from Louisville, KY that got together around April 2010.

JOSH GARRETT

Josh Garrett is a Blues singer and guitar player from New Roads, LA.  He and his family relocated to the bayou town of Houma, LA (Terrebonne Parish) when he was a young child.  While growing up in Houma, Josh was exposed to Cajun, Zydeco, and Blues music at the local music festivals.  He picked up his father’s guitar when he was 12 years old and started writing songs soon after.    
By age 20, he was performing several times a week in downtown Houma, LA.  At age 24, Garrett was deployed with the Army to Iraq, and his music interests were put on hold for a while.  Early in his 26th year he returned to the United States and civilian life with a handful of songs that were written during his deployment overseas.  These songs would become his first album entitled, “Changed Man”.
 		  
5:30 pm

CAROLYN WONDERLAND


A musical force equipped with the soulful vocals of Janis and the guitar slinging skills of Stevie
Ray, Carolyn Wonderland reaches into the depths of the Texas blues tradition with the wit of a
poet. She hits the stage with unmatched presence, a true legend in her time.
“She'd grown up the child of a singer in a band and began playing her mother's vintage
Martin guitar when other girls were dressing dolls. She'd gone from being the teenage toast
of her hometown Houston to sleeping in her van in Austin amid heaps of critical acclaim for
fine recordings Alcohol & Salvation, Bloodless Revolution, and most recently, Miss Understood.
 		  
7:30 pm

 RICK ESTRIN & the NIGHTCATS


Formed in 1991, the band has evolved through many incarnations, three Tone Cool and two self-produced CDs, trips around the world as far as South Africa and mostly the joys of playing a lot of music on Martha's Vineyard where most of them live. Johnny juggles a full life where he takes advantage of his many skills including stone masonry, fishing, antique dealing, farming. Somehow he manages to do all the gigs as well. He came to the Island in 1978, after soaking up Muddy Waters’ and Tom Waits’ shows as a teenager.		  

Saturday's Headliner

  
9:30 p.m.  KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD

There are few artists whose names are synonymous with one instrument and how it's played in service
to an entire genre.
Utter the phrase "young blues guitarist" within earshot of anyone with even a cursory knowledge of the
modern musical vanguard and the first name they are most likely to respond with will be Kenny Wayne
Shepherd. Still barely in his 30s, the Louisiana born axeman and songsmith has been selling millions
of albums, throwing singles into the Top 10, shining a light on the rich blues of the past and forging
ahead with his own modern twist on a classic sound he has embodied since his teens. He met Stevie
Ray Vaughn at 7, shared the stage with New Orleans legend Bryan Lee at13. As an adult, he continues
to create genre- defining blues-infused rock n' roll.
