Grey, speaking of the upcoming tour, is excited to get started, saying, “Took long enough but it’s coming! Finally going to get our behinds out there to Texas, Arizona, Nevada and the West Coast to do that Olustee thang! Can’t wait!”

Shemekia Copeland’s new album ‘Blame It On Eve,’ out now via Alligator Records, sustains a level high enough to which other contemporary blues albums struggle to reach. The list of musicians who sat in is a who’s who of talented headliners in their own right: Americana superstar Alejandro Escovedo, guitarists Luther Dickinson and Charlie Hunter, lap steel master Jerry Douglas, and young sacred steel wizard DaShawn.

The longest tenured band in Alligator Records’ history as the premier blues label, this band is fronted by the rawest of the raw on guitar. This group puts on a show that would peel paint off a classic Cadillac, let alone an Imperial.

‘The Hits Keep Coming’ is a career-defining album of adult songs with references reflecting Rick’s long strange trip into the blues. Recorded for Alligator, the blues label that’s been in business almost as long as Rick has, it features Kid Andersen on guitar and was recorded at Kid’s Greaseland Studios.

The 28-city tour will take Cannon from the Midwest to the East Coast and back, including dates in Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia, Washington D.C. and Boston!

K.R.I.T. adds a captivating rap to Kingfish’s passionate vocals and thought-provoking lyrics, seamlessly blending hip hop’s raw urgency with the timelessness of the blues.

Shemekia Copeland is setting the trend for contemporary blues women on her new album ‘Done Come Too Far.’ She tells it like it is, prays to God, records with musicians from different genres, plays for the U.N. and President Obama, and flies into the frontlines of a war zone to play for our troops.
