Rick Fines
Rick crafts a unique blend of warm-hearted blues, juke joint folk, and dockside soul that both embraces and defies the genres that influence him. As a veteran of the North American blues and folk circuits, he first gained attention as part of the legendary Jackson Delta. He’s since released four solo albums, one with the Rick Fines Trio, and a critically acclaimed album with Suzie Vinnick, gaining him a Maple Blues Songwriter of the Year Award. Om his own, he’s won two additional Maple Blues Awards as well as eight other nominations. He won a 2003 International Songwriting Competition, but is equally proficient on guitar – having played for legendary blues piano player Pinetop Perkins, songstress Colleen Peterson, folk icon Penny Lang, and many others.

Kenny 'Blues Boss' Wayne
Born in Spokane, Washington, Kenny Wayne had a nomadic childhood. His family moved from New Orleans to San Francisco to Los Angeles to Compton when he was young. Wayne's father was a preacher who encouraged his son to listen to gospel music, but his mother preferred the sounds of Nat King Cole, Little Willie John and Fats Domino, which sparked his early interest in blues and R&B. Kenny was inducted into the Boogie Woogie Piano Hall of Fame in Cincinnati, Ohio in 2017. He's released 14 albums and this Juno Award winner, WCMA winner and multiple Maple Blues Award winner is at the forefront of modern day blues piano.
