No requests, no fluff, just two full hours of pure, unadulterated groove from some of the best to ever do it.\nWe are setting the mood early with the legendary Taj Mahal and the hypnotic blues-rock vibe of Medicine Head, before dipping into some classic vocal harmony from The 5 Royales. The temperature rises quickly from there with The Cashbox Kings, Blues Messenger, and the searing guitar work of Tinsley Ellis.\nFor the deep, historic roots, we\u2019ve got the delta giant Bukka White in the building, alongside a brilliant collaboration from Carl Carlton and Melanie Wiegmann, and the godfather himself, John Mayall. We are keeping that classic energy high with soulful runs from Curtis Salgado, the king Buddy Guy, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, and the vintage jazz-blues vocals of Helen Humes.\nThe second half is a masterclass in harmonica-driven heat and modern grit. You will hear Russ Green, The Four Flames, and the swampy fire of Ghalia and Mama\u2019s Boys, right alongside KAT Blue and the True Believers. We\u2019ve also locked in the powerhouse pairing of the Nick Moss Band Featuring Dennis Gruenling, Dave Weld and the Imperial Flames, and the brilliant Dave Thomas.\nRounding off an absolute powerhouse of a show, we are clearing the runway for Freddie King, the gritty rock-blues of Mississippi Shakedown, Dixie Peach, and the beautifully expressive guitar of Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters, before finishing up with the mighty Tedeschi Trucks Band.\nIt is a serious lineup from top to bottom.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/img.hearthis.at\/6\/4\/7\/_\/uploads\/9657207\/image_track\/14443248\/w1200_h628_q70_ptrue_v2_m1780217740----cropped_1780217734746.jpg?m=1780217740","thumbnail_width":1200,"thumbnail_height":628,"html":"<iframe scrolling=\"no\" id=\"hearthis_at_track_14443248_light\" style=\"border-radius: 10px;\" width=\"100%\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/hearthis.at\/embed\/14443248\/transparent\/?style=2&block_size=2&block_space=2&background=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency><\/iframe>","author_name":"Blues is the Truth","author_url":"https:\/\/hearthis.at\/ian-mchugh\/"}
