Winner of the Chicago Blues Challenge!

Texas-bred blues vocalist and songwriter Long Tall Deb and Hawaiian Big Island slack key guitarist/singer Colin John. Best described as “genre-bending” and “refreshingly original,” the richly-textured layers of their music incorporate world influence with a soul-blues base picked up on their travels throughout India, Nepal, Hawaii and the American South. DEB is the real deal with a tremendous, powerful blues voice, and COLIN JOHN is one of the best guitarist-lap steel-“Baby Sitar” players around!

The solid rhythmic foundation of bass (CARL YAFFEY) , and banjo (JACKIE LAMUTH) allows our tasteful lead guitar (JOHN SHERMAN) and distinctive vocals (BILL KERWIN) to send this classic mix of tunes straight to your hearts.
