 About the performers:

TIJERINA BAND - For over a decade Todd Tijerina (Tee-her-ee-na) has steadily made a living playing his fierce brand of cutting edge blues-rock in Chicago and the Southwest as Tijerina's (formerly The Todd Tijerina Band) guitarist/singer. In addition to front man duties, a three year stint in Chicago ('97 - '00) offered opportunities to work as guitarist for such artists as internationally revered bluesman, Byther Smith, the legendary Harmonica Hinds, and BB's daughter, Shirley King. It was during this time in the Windy City that Todd and his band won Chicagoland's Rory's Blues Talent Competition 1999. The victory funded recording expenses for the group's 2000 release, The Lowdown. Since then the band has released three more albums, Welcome Home in 2004,Now in 2006, and Walk This Road in 2009 which have enjoyed radio play in the US, Australia and Europe. www.tijerinaband.com

JOHNNY MACK - Texan Johnny Mack won Ft. Worth's "Blues Man of 2002" in the performing category for his extraordinary vocals and washboard playing;  from Swamp Pop and Western Swing to Low Down Blues.

ALBUQUERQUE BLUES CONNECTION (ABC) is one of the New Mexico's longest running blues organizations. With their Chicago-ite and John Lee Hooker boogie style, and their fancy harmonica blues, ABC has consistently played to crowds all over New Mexico as well as regionally. Music commision news

BUGS HENDERSON - Henderson certainly has his voice, both in his songwriting and his guitar playing, an amalgam of roots rock and Texas blues."
-Blues Review Magazine-

His mixture of searing blues, jazz ability, swing, funk, and just about everything else that can be played on six strings; Bugs has the ability to give his audience a sense of true musical art, applying enormous control over his tone and coloration.

Bugs has played with guitar icons such as B.B. King, Freddie King, Eric Clapton, Ted Nugent, Roy Buchanan, and James Burton. To this day, Bugs' guitar hangs in Hard Rock Cafe' in Dallas along side instruments donated by Lee Ritenouer and Chet Atkins. www.bugshenderson.com
