Markus James & The Wassonrai – JP Soars Blues Revue featuring Annie Harris – Altered Five

Markus James & The Wassonrai – Blues-based roots and rock masterfully and seamlessly infused with traditional West African sounds of the Wassoulou and Sonrai peoples of Mali, James’ five critically acclaimed Mali-based albums have been warmly received worldwide.

JP Soars – Cigar-box guitar is on tap with JP Soars Gypsy Blues Revue featuring Anne Harris. Set to play on Day 1 of the second weekend of dates for Playing with Fire 2022, this Florida-based, California native knows only one temperature: hot, hot. hot.

Altered Five – Altered Five’s band bio on its website says the group “smokes, smolders, and burns like a swig of good whiskey,” and after listening to the band’s video to “Guilty of a Good Time,” I think the band has every right to make that claim. They deliver.
