"Happily, there is good and great music in every era. However, today's popular music often seems less heartfelt than the music I grew up listening to. I pray that the current younger generation will nurture the best of human culture, contribute to it and take us closer to a world of peace and harmony."

Eric Bibb: Blues Storyteller & Philosopher …

"I miss real live performances and fun music from the 50s. Huge fan of the golden oldies. Wish songwriting that gets big was still good and clever. Really worried about AI music just taking over and clogging up the American music toilet."

Taylor Hollingsworth, the fingerpicking songwriter hailing from…

"I try to make people have a trip though my music. The goal is to make them stop thinking about all the alienating stuff in their lives, and just start feeling what’s really there instead of making life projections. Simply put, to give them vacations away from their brain."

"The blues speaks to pain, loss, hope and love, universal experiences that anyone can relate to. It can be structurally simple but musically and emotionally complex."…

"Don't hold on to your exact vision for the outcome - especially in the journey from writing the song to the finished album. Everybody that I've worked with from Al Kooper to David Bromberg, Coco Brown to Hazel Miller have added to my original idea and taken it to a new place. And if I am open to it ... can see the vision ... it makes it better. Now, sometimes you say, "well that's a great part but not on this track." But for the most part - collaboration…

"What I miss most from the music of the past are the pure, raw emotions. The music back then had a way of capturing you, making you feel something deeply every time you listened, just like the first time. There was an authenticity and soul in the sound that’s hard to replicate today."

Born on October 25, 1994,…

"Blues is ageless. Everyone was young at one time. A lot of the original blues artists like Robert Johnson were young, in their 20s when they recorded. BB King and Jimmy Reed were young and vibrant when they started out and continued to be loved throughout their lives. For me it’s the same. I wrote songs when I was 20, and I still do today."

Brad Vickers & Margey…

"Stay true to yourself and the music. For me...the Blues is a Healer! The Blues have gotten me through some hard times, and it has brought me some joy too. I enjoy seeing people have a good time... if I can do that while playing music... it's double the pleasure for me!"

Ronnie Baker Brooks: Blues In His…

"The Blues nexus with Rock was so complete it was seamless. If you have Blues on your mind, there it is. If it’s Rock, it’s certainly there. It was Rock in those days for me. And still is apparently with an increasing love for the Blues. I think the Blues is a great way to deliver ideas. I’m hooked!"

Randy Lee Riviere: Concrete Blues…

"I don't think of technique anymore. I'm not the type that practices for six hours a day. I get my stamina from playing gigs and my inspiration from baring my soul at the performance."
