Ghost Town Blues Band

The Ghost Town Blues Band is one of the must-see live bands on the festival scene today. Both Andrew McNeill behind the drums and Matt Karner on the bass guitar are a punishing rhythm section behind multi-instrumentalist/frontman Matt Isbell with raunchy cigar box guitar licks and raspy Dr. John-like vocals.

 Josh Parks Band

The Josh Parks Band describes their sound as heavy psychedelic blues-rock. Josh Parks is a blues-based guitar player but loves to play a lot of different kinds of music, especially heavy guitars and smashing drums.

 Reba Russell Band

Reba Russell now fronts the Reba Russell Band. She is a songwriter, vocalist, guitarist, backing vocalist, bandleader, and producer. She is a highly respected Memphis studio session vocalist having been a backup vocalist for the likes of BB King, U2, Huey Lewis, and the News plus the Million Dollar Quartet of Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins.
