Expect the blues and swing influences of T-Bone Walker, Otis Rush, Louis Jordan, and more..... along with the down home original North Carolina blues of singer songwriter Mike "Howlin Wind" Davis. Be ready to boogie down to the music that started it all, the blues, and keep it shaking to the music that the blues inspired. |

Eric E-Train Manning (E-Train for short) is a songwriter living in Willow Spring, NC. Growing up he had a knack of making people laugh and playing guitar. He started writing songs seriously in college and discovered that people really liked his humor mixed into his songwriting. So mixing blues with elements of americana, country and humor, his songs are funny, pensive, thought provoking, and just fun to listen to. |

Jimmy Haggard is an internationally acclaimed guitarist, singer, songwriter and musical artist based out of Raleigh, North Carolina. You'll hear a down-n-dirty Texas boogie, swear there was a Chicago blues shuffle slidin' through and feel like the Delta was in your backyard. Sometimes the music will feel like indie or jam band, with some grunge and hard rock tossed in, a little jazzy at times, and you will catch a sold groove that's right on time when the feeling hits you. You will even pick up a dash of country (what, you've never heard of country blues?) and earthy acoustic folk/rock. |
