When Blues Legend James Montgomery plays the harmonica, he "brings it on home". Whether it's recording with Kid Rock, sitting in with Gregg Allman, or fronting his hot band of thirty years, Montgomery plays with authority. While growing up in Detroit he learned first-hand from the masters - James Cotton, John Lee Hooker, and Jr. Wells - at the legendary "Chessmate." Over the years, he's carried on in the tradition and continues to be a vital presence in Blues as one of the most dynamic performers on the scene. Since 1970, James has recorded six albums, reaching number nine on Billboard's national playlist, and collaborating with members of the David Letterman Band and the Uptown Horns (the Rolling Stones' horn section). Touring credentials include Aerosmith, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Springsteen, The Allman Brothers, Steve Miller and many more...

New Orleans Jazz, Blues, and Cajun Music Legend Henri Smith, Singer, Recording Artist, Band Leader, and Movie Actor who has been thrilling audiences while touring the United States and Europe. His career started in his home town of New Orleans where he polished his sophisticated and dramatic music delivery. He frequently performed and served as the emcee at "The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival", which is the LARGEST Jazz Fest in the World! After losing his home to Hurricane Katrina, Henri moved to Massachusetts. He now performs throughout New England with his all-star band. Every Henri Smith Show is a Mardi Gras Party !!!
