Roomful of Blues

Even though Roomful of Blues' lineup has changed over the years, the band has always been one of the tightest, most joyful blues ensembles in the world. Currently an eight-piece unit led by guitarist Chris Vachon, the band has never sounded fresher or stronger. In 2010, singer Phil Pemberton took over the vocal duties, bringing his sweet and soulful vocals and adding another bright new dimension to the jazzy, jump-blues musical roots. Their winning combination of jump, swing, blues, R&B and soul remains their calling card, as does their ability to fill the dance floor. Along with new members, bassist John Turner, trumpeter Doug Woolverton, drummer Chris Rivelli, and keyboardist Rusty Scott, and longtime members baritone and tenor saxophonist Mark Earley, tenor and alto saxophonist Rich Lataille, Roomful keeps on rockin' in 2013.

Southside Johnny and The Poor Fools

Billed as Southside Johnny & The Poor Fools, each evening’s set list will consist of a wide cross section of music, described as Southside Johnny Lyon's "eclectic version of the Great American Songbook," with the Poor Fools playing everything from Bob Dylan tunes to NRBQ and songs from Muddy Waters, Richard Thompson, Emmylou Harris, The Band, George Jones, Mose Allison as well as a few Jukes standards.

Who are the Poor Fools? Featuring a couple of Asbury Jukes members - Jeff Kazee and John Conte - the band also includes Tommy Byrnes who has worked with Billy Joel for a number of years, and E Street Band violinist Soozie Tyrell. "It will be a loose mix of songs, stories and banter between the musicians and - hopefully - the audience," Southside Johnny said in a statement. "Just lookin' to have a good time. It'll be a little side trip between the usual Asbury Jukes touring and our next recording." Buy Tickets

James Hunter

Grammy nominated r&b singer and guitarist James Hunter has become, in his own words, an overnight success that has taken 20 years. After touring Britain's blues clubs for two decades, James found instant stardom with his first American release, 2006's People Gonna Talk, which reached number one on the Billboard Blues Chart, earned a Grammy nomination and led to tours with the likes of Aretha Franklin, Los Lonely Boys, Boz Scaggs and Van Morrison.

His mellifluous r&b, with its affectionate echoes of Sam Cooke, Georgie Fame and Jackie Wilson, became an airplay staple on some of America's most influential radio stations and received heavy praise from the likes of Rolling Stone and MOJO magazines. Back home, Britain's finest soul man and his skin tight band, featuring drums, bass and brass, continue to tear through venues with their incendiary live shows.

Now widely regarded as one of the nation's finest soul and blues guitarists, James has recorded session for the likes of BBC Radio 2's Paul Jones and Mark Lamarr and appeared on BBC2's Later... With Jools Holland. Buy Tickets
