*Room Full of Blues/ James Cotton- Superharp started off not quite with it but he finally got his groove, about halfway through, and played well. I'm glad I can say that I've seen him.
*Delbert-ok, his show just doesn't have the punch as a few others.
*Hamilton Loomis- harp playing fit very nicely into his music (if you're not familiar with him, check him out)
*Keb Mo- sparce playing but "to me" he had the best tone by far (acoustic through the vocal mic). Deep, nice and rich. He did have the advantage of the main stage set up over some of the guys on the other stages.
*Bobby Rush-he can play the thing alot better than he lets on. Good energy to his playing.
*Moreland & Arbuckle- "to me"- Dustin is a very good up and coming player. Their beats are infectious. Jimmy Meade (Kansas City, Mo.)joined him for a two harp rendition of "Juke" that was great. What really interested me was that Jimmy played through the Electrovoice mic and Vintage 47 amp while Dustin played through the vocal mic. VERY nice to study the difference together!
*Brandon Bailey- I obsovered the young man interact with others and was he very humble, polite and gracious. I liked that he is a study of the blues and explains his music and history of blues during his show. Very talented young man looping and creating new stuff.
*Billy Branch- Damn, I had to run between Keb Mo and Billy. I wish I had seen more but what I saw was FANTASTIC.
