Q&A with UK band of Jump 66, a feel-good mix of classic Rhythm & Blues, retro-Soul, jumping-Swing and joyous-Ska

Q&A with Kamel L. King, Managing Director of Emerald Tiger Artist Management, a rising agency representing top new talent.

God, music and sports have been the tip of the spear that has brought people together across the world. It is also the most polarizing of things also. If you think about civil rights, spiritual effect on the human soul, the general consensus on current politics and the woes of the human existence, it's all expressed through music. Music was the vehicle for the civil rights movement. It carried out to the people what was in the…

Q&A with Bill Bruford, one of the most famous and recognized drummers of the world, an original drummer in YES and was a long term member of King Crimson

Q&A with veteran Texas gunslinger Rocky Athas, an authentic and unique blues rock guitarist and songwriter

"I know it sounds cliché, but clichés exist because of the truth they define. Music IS the universal language because I have experienced music connecting people who don't understand the language of the lyrics. I have learned through music that we are all one and it can unite us, so I believe in the power of music."

Q&A with unstoppable bluesman Little Freddie King (aka Dr. Bones), one of the last Bluesmen of his generation

"The Blues express clarity, honesty, and simplicity. It’s been my experience that white folks also have the blues. They seem to support my music because they understand the hardship we have experienced. The black folks don’t want to be reminded about trials and tribulations of the past. The young people want to partake in the finer things in life and move on with their materialistic voyage."

Q&A with composer/musician Andrew Keeling, whose contemporary classical works have been internationally acclaimed.

"The elimination of the sacred has affected everything. Music has suffered accordingly. The State has become the new god with technology as the tool for achieving its aims. The result of this is the relativisation of all music. Music has been ripped from its traditional functional roots."

Q&A with Nashville-based guitarist Tony Sarno, recorded numerous critically-acclaimed Rock and Blues albums

"In a perfect world, it would be more equitable, but that’s a pipe dream. Like all things in the entertainment world, it’s a “pyramid”; the few at the top make all of the money, and those at the bottom make crumbs. I realize that the ones at the top are generating most of the money, and therefore reap the most benefits. I am grateful for the living I am able to sustain, whether from music, or any of the numerous odd jobs that I’ve…

Q&A with slide guitar-one-man band, Bill "Sauce Boss" Wharton, a soul shouting picnic of rock n' roll brotherhood

"Every body has the blues, sometimes. Many people think that all the blues is, is some guy in the corner, crying in his beer about how he’s been mistreated. The blues is so much more than that. It’s a cosmic expression that lifts you out of your situation to a higher vantage point. It’s true poetry in every sense of the word"
