John Lee Hooker JR
Website
His current album Blues with a Vengeance (Kent Records) is what he calls his "celebratory redemption." After struggling through years of extreme hardship and nearly losing himself to the streets, the remarkable John Lee Hooker Jr. overcame the adversity to begin a rapid emergence into the blues spotlight. Released in April 2004, Blues with a Vengeance certainly lives up to its name by wrapping up 2004 with a Grammy nomination in the Traditional Blues Album category and recently won the distinguished W.C. Handy Award for Best New Artist Debut! The California Music Awards (formerly the BAMMYS) named Blues with a Vengeance 2004's Outstanding Blues Album of the Year, and the Bay Area Blues Society presented John Lee Hooker Jr. with the 2004 Comeback Artist of the Year award.

Lavay Smith
Website
Lavay Smith, vocalist and bandleader of the Red Hot Skillet Lickers, grew up in Southern California and the Philippines. She has become an internationally recognized Diva of Jazz & Blues, a cross between Marilyn Monroe and Bettie Page, with a singing style influenced by Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Bessie Smith, Little Esther Phillips and other legendary greats. This sultry chanteuse evokes a sensuous era of Jazz queens and sexy pinups and adds a modern, feminist twist. No wonder Los Angeles Magazine chose her as one of the sexiest people around!
