“Connecticut’s undisputed Queen of Rock n’ Soul , who is a proud standard bearer of the New Haven scene’s deep history. This will be one of only two appearances in The Elm City this year” Longtime, current vocalist with the Saturday Night Live Band on NBC. What we can say is “The Wanderer, who had famously appeared with Ohlman on her latest CD, plucked The Beehive Queen for not one but two duets, joining Carlene Carter, Susan Tedeschi, Maggie Rose, Shemeika Copeland and others”
A true singer, songwriter and guitar player in his own right, JC was born to Honor and Tribute Johnny Cash’s Musical Legacy and has been professionally tributing The Man in Black for years — captivating audiences of all ages one piece at a time…
Even though Roomful of Blues’ lineup has changed over the years, the band has always been one of the tightest, most joyful blues ensembles in the world. Currently an eight-piece unit led by guitarist Chris Vachon, the band has never sounded fresher or stronger. Singer Phil Pemberton brings his sweet and soulful vocals and adds another bright new dimension to the jazzy, jump-blues musical roots. Their winning combination of jump, swing, blues, R&B and soul remains their calling card, as does their ability to fill the dance floor. Along with bassist John Turner, trumpeter Carl Gerhard, drummer Mike Coffey, keyboardist Rusty Scott, baritone and tenor saxophonist Alek Razdan, tenor and alto saxophonist Rich Lataille, Roomful keeps on rockin’ into 2024.
Popa Chubby, born Ted Horowitz, has been hard rocking the blues in his fierce and soulful way for more than 30 years. Over the course of a career that dates back to 1994, he has been a force of to be reckoned with on the guitar, and his tempestuous, soulful playing has never been more powerful. An imposing figure with a shaven head, tattooed arms, a goatee and a performance style he describes as “the Stooges meets Buddy Guy, Motörhead meets Muddy Waters, and Jimi Hendrix meets Robert Johnson,” Popa Chubby is an endearing character who is one of the genre’s most popular figures.

In a world where there are no
more heroes, the Fleshtones walk the earth like Roman gods.
Since their inception in 1976 in Queens, New
York, and their sweaty, boozy gestation at legendary venues such as CBGB, Max’s
Kansas City, and the storied Club 57— recently feted at the Museum of Modern
Art, where their proto-video underground film“Soul City” was unspooled for
art stars, glitterati, and a raft of punk rockers who managed to get past the
front gate — they have perpetrated their proprietary brand of SUPER
ROCK, a frenetic amalgam of garage punk and soul, punctuated by the big
beat and unleashed with the spectacular show business majesty which has kept
them on the road for over forty years, adored by audiences whose love for them
borders on religious fervor. The secret to the Fleshtones’ success has
been never copping the sound of another era — the closest they come is an
uncanny ability to look good in paisley — while barely acknowledging the
times in which they live. Almost 50 years later the Fleshtones remain an
unstoppable force for good. They brooked no false meanness, studied cynicism,
arty ennui, or the lyrics of the jaded. Songs like “Swinging Planet X” fulfill
the promise of Bo Diddley-style outer-space blues stomp, while “Spilling Blood
at the Rock’n’Roll Show” splatters happily, fueled by stinging guitars and
group hollers. Add to this a jangly ode to the most peerless of game show
hosts, Alex Trebek, and a half dozen more songs dusted with British Invasion
harmonies and touches of dirty psychedelia — including the title track,
inspired by one of the greatest, unsung films of our time — all delivered
with the Fleshtones’ indelible mojo, and you are holding a slab truly worthy of
the SUPER ROCK championship belt.
The Fleshtones’ SUPER
ROCK sound literally defines American Beat Music, and they have delivered their
message with evangelistic passion, always skirting the edges of the
mainstream without pandering to any obvious fad or trend. They have
appeared on Dick Clark’s American Bandstand TV show;
charismatic frontman Peter Zaremba was a host on MTV’s original late-night
alternative broadcast The Cutting Edge; and they were the
last band to publicly perform at the World Trade Center’s Windows on the World,
a society gig by any standard. Always true to their school, they have
flags planted in the old world and the new — they appeared with Andy
Warhol on his short-lived talk show Andy Warhol’s Fifteen Minutes,
and throughout the mid-1980s they regularly played at the Pyramid Club on
Avenue A in New York’s storied East Village, and were instrumental in helping
to start Wigstock, the drag queen festival that has become an outrageously
vibrant part of the New York City experience

Founded in 2004 by New York guitarist, Steph Paynes, the all-girl quartet, Lez Zeppelin, has since gained unanimous critical acclaim as one of the most exciting live acts around, becoming the first female rock act to pay homage to led zeppelin and to garner rave reviews across the board. Lez Zeppelin stays true to the musically audacious spirit of the original, delivering the legendary rock band’s blistering arrangements and monstrous sound note-for-note at sold-out frenzied shows around the world. In June, 2013, Jimmy Page attended their show in London and said of the group, “they played the Led Zeppelin music with an extraordinary sensuality and an energy and passion that highlighted their superb musicianship.”
The thing that sets Lez Zeppelin apart is the seamless and unique way they inject their gender-bending performance into the original material. they have been featured on major television including the BBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, MTV, VH-1, FOX and radio shows worldwide, such as SiriusXM and NPR.
At a time when most people feel constantly distracted by technology and barraged by the news, authenticity and straightforward honesty are paramount. There’s something about the music of that cuts right through the noise of the world and speaks plainly to the soul. Formed in the Smoky Mountains, The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys are at once exactly what you would expect and not at all what you would expect from a tattooed East Tennessee Bluegrass outfit. No strangers to hard work, the boys are as much at home riding in their 1965 GM Tour bus as they are crawling underneath to fix it when it needs maintenance. But they take pride in being ambassadors of their genre, and the group has brought their music from rural bluegrass festival stages to the rock clubs of Europe, with stunning results.
Every so often a band comes around that knocks everybody’s socks off and gets people talking. I’d bet good money that you’re gonna really enjoy them, but I don’t want to take your money. Use it to listen to the PRB. I‘m putting my money on them. -Jim Lauderdale
