Downtown Charlie Brown, a Chicagoland favorite, is one of the hottest blues performer in the area. He has performed at venues across the country, including Ground Zero in both Clarksdale and Biloxi, Mississippi and on King Biscuit Time in Helena, Arkansas. He was referred to as “Chicago’s Delta” by American Blues Scene and was also featured in Living Blues, BG Blues and Music News Magazine. Artists like Muddy Waters, Son House, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Koko Taylor, Bonnie Raitt, and Howlin’ Wolf come alive during his performances.
Donna Herula, 2022 Independent Blues Award Winner and 2021 Blues Artist of the Year in Doc’s Blues Awards, is a Chicago-born blues singer, songwriter, and slide guitarist that has a passion for playing traditional Delta Blues, early Chicago Blues, Folk, Americana, and Roots music. Using electrified resonator guitars, her sound combines her love for the music of the Deep South and Chicago with her love of blues guitar improvisation.
