Smokin&#8217; JOE THOMAS
Around the world Smokin&#8217; Joe Thomas is known for his explosive bass playing. He also plays guitar and sings. Regardless of the genre Joe says it best like it is. &#8220;I love and play music period. Music was the name 1st given, let&#8217;s stick to that.&#8221; Smokin&#8217; Joe&#8217;s played with many star musicians. They include but are not limited to: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant (No Quarter Tour), Buddy Miles, Koko Taylor, Herbie Hancock, Mick Taylor (ex-guitarist for The Rolling Stones), George Clinton, Jesse Johnson of The Time and Peter Tosh.

&amp;
LONNIE WALKER &amp; her Big Bad Ass Company Band 
A true original, there is no one else out there like Lonie Walker! At one with her acoustic piano, sweet whiskey stained voice and searing honesty, Lonie bares her soul through her music. Walker defies musical categorization. Uniting elements of rock, soul, funk, jazz and blues and a vocal styling that BarFly Magazine says “wails and whispers her heart’s jazz-stirrings,” Lonie recalls Janis Joplin at her feverish peak. However, nothing is better than Lonie Walker live! From New York to Paris and Antwerp to Berlin, Lonie and the band connect with their audiences, leaving them with an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind musical experience. That is pure Lonie Walker.
