Joanna Connor

The Queen of Blues Rock Guitar

Opening- Bees Deluxe

Reviews on Joanna's latest CD she will be performing

“A Masterpiece of Blues Rock.”– Music News
“Joanna Connor is at the top of her game.”– Rock and Blues Muse


“This recording ranks as Joanna Connor’s best to date, and I believe it has something to do with her producer, Joe Bonamassa; he has brought out the best in her.”– 10/10 Powerplay Magazine


“Her best album to date. It oozes style. Raw, pure and traditional blues.” – Blues Matters Magazine


“Musically, 4801 South Indiana Avenue With Bonamassa and Smith assisting, Connor’s performance offers her iconic playing, delivered with joyful abandon and plenty of attitude.” – AllMusic


Joanna Connor’s musical odyssey began. The Blues was part of the lexicon. Joanna’s favorite record as a child was Taj Mahal’s “Take A Giant Step/ The Old Folks At Home”.
Seeing Buddy Guy perform at a local university at the age of 10 left a paramount impression

Bees Deluxe

You only have to look at the song titles to see that you do not have to deal with an average blues band here. And that also applies to the musical plane. It is almost impossible to stick a musical label on the Bees Deluxe from Boston. They keep it on "acid bluesband" but I think that term is far too limited. Personally, I think it's great when a band throws all sorts of music styles into a blender and makes it unique. And that certainly happens on this album!

— Peter Marinus, Blues Magazine

what might happen if Freddie King took a lot of acid then wrote a song with Pat Metheny and asked a strung-out Stevie Ray Vaughan to take a solo

— Blues Blast Magazine

Solid vocals surrounded by a tight band, and check out the tones he gets out of his guitar; this cat can play.

Lil Ed 010.jpg

Lil' Ed & The Blues Imperials

Opening- Slim & The Perkolators

Lil' Ed

”Electrifying, raucous, pure Chicago blues….Lil’ Ed is a guitarist extraordinaire….slashing slide and flamboyant stage persona.” – Chicago Tribune

​“Rough and ready blues played with unmitigated intensity…Swirling, snarling, riveting slide….The Blues Imperials pound out riffs and rhythms like they’re overdosing on boogie juice.  Scorching and soulful, joyous and stomping.” – Living Blues

​In Chicago, a city overflowing with unrivaled blues talent, world-renowned Lil’ Ed & The Blues Imperials have been standing tall for almost 30 years. The band’s big sound, fueled by Lil’ Ed’s gloriously rollicking slide work and deep blues string bending, along with his rough-edged, soulful vocals, is as real and hard-hitting as Chicago blues gets. The Chicago Sun-Times says, “Lil’ Ed & The Blues Imperials are the hottest purveyors of bottleneck boogie to come out of Chicago since Hound Dog Taylor.”

Slim & The Perkolators

Formed 6 years ago by veteran Pennsylvania Blues Hall of Fame guitar player Tim "the Perkolator" Perks and young Harmonica ace Derek "Harmonica Slim" Matteson, SLim & The Perkolators have developed a sound that incorporates classic Chicago style house rocking blues, west coast jump/swing, rock and roll and roots music that both engages and entertains audiences everywhere they play.

A Tribute to Sheryl Crow

It was decided that Sheryl Crow would be an ideal compliment, enabling the band to pay tribute to two incredible female singer songwriters, and adding a nice blend of American roots rock to the show. 

This is a great seasoned band of musicians you won't want to miss.

 

Chrissie Crow is dedicated to bringing you the ultimate tribute to two great artists in a night of energy and fun.

Grayson

GRAYSON is a four-piece band from South Jersey that pulls from jazz, blues and soul to create their own blend and modern sound. The band who’ve known each other since middle school count Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Beatles and Joe Pass among their influences. Their brand of entertainment fuses intense breakdowns and feel good melodies with passionate lyricism about love, heartache, and growing up as a young man in today's world. The unpredictable chord progressions and lyrics stem from guitar player and lead singer Matt Grayson. Charlie Peters (drums) keeps time locked in with his younger brother, David (Bass), who sings backup vocals as well. Al Grayson (keyboard) adds the “magic” to Graysons' sound by complimenting vocal melodies with his own new sound. After just playing the Stone Pony for their release party of their recent debut album NO 1 RLLY KNOWS.
