Hill Roberts grew up playing music in the Atlanta blues scene. His fiercely funked and folked blues band, Catfish & The Bottom, continues to make an impression on the Southeastern road map, picking up new fans at every turn. Drawing from his influences (Robert Johnson, Ry Cooder, Jerry Garcia, Gregg Allman, Dr. John and JJ Cale to name a few...) you can find Hill Roberts performing music from his "Live" Compilation FRESH MILK (2015), or his album "Catfish, Let the Music Take..." (2017) throughout the Southeast.

“Blending the cool blues-rock of acts like The Black Keys and North Mississippi Allstars with a Memphis soul sound. . .” Glide Magazine

Tony Holiday has been at the center of a Memphis soul blues revival anchored by a contingent of young, savvy, well-schooled musicians who have a "family-like" attitude and a strong belief in one another. Over the past couple of years, Holiday and his talented young band have been touring hard, taking spells in between to write and record with Producer Eric Corne in Memphis and Los Angeles. The result is Keep Your Head Up, an album that covers a tremendous amount of territory over eight pithy tracks. It features a nice array of special guests including Eddie 9V, Kevin Burt, Albert Castiglia and Laura Chavez, last year's Blues Music Award winner for 'Guitarist of the Year’.

"There's something in the water in Memphis, and Tony Holiday has tapped into it to contribute to an exciting new chapter unfolding in this storied region." - Blues Town Music.

To celebrate International Blues Day Jhett Black will be bringing special guests to the stage to capture the improvisational nature and soul of the blues.
