Q&A with unique musician Sweet Marta, the only female blues harmonica player in Spain, stomps hard on stage

"It shouldn't mean anything because the first blues were sung by women Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey etc. The vision from the point of view that it isn't to be a female artist in a man's artistic world, the vision and should be about a cultural and educational change in our society towards women. The status of a woman in music is the same as that of a man.

Q&A with rock n’ roller Boone Froggett, frontman/guitarist of OTIS, staying connected to their Kentucky roots

"Southern rock takes all the best of the American roots music forms and cooks it all down to one flavor.

It’s a passing down of our culture and makes you feel like you’re part of something."
