Kim Wilson (* 6. Januar 1951 in Detroit) ist ein US-amerikanischer Bluesrock-Sänger und -Mundharmonikaspieler, der vor allem als Mitglied der Fabulous Thunderbirds bekannt wurde.Wilson wuchs als Sohn von zwei Radio-Pop-Sängern in Kalifornien auf. Schon als Kind bekam er Unterricht für Gitarre und Posaune. Erst als Senior auf der Oberschule begann er sich für Blues zu begeistern. Ab 1970 begann er professionell Blues zu spielen, das Mundharmonikaspielen brachten ihm verschiedene Blues-Musiker bei, mit denen er zu dieser Zeit spielte. Zu den Musikern, mit denen er in den 1970er Jahren zusammenarbeitete, zählen Eddie Taylor, Charlie Musselwhite, John Lee Hooker, Sonny Rhodes und schließlich Muddy Waters. Inzwischen war Wilson nach Austin gezogen, wo er Jimmie Vaughan kennenlernte, mit dem er 1977 die Fabulous Thunderbirds gründete.
Neben seiner Arbeit mit den T-Birds, begann Wilson in den frühen 1990er Jahren auch Solo-Platten zu veröffentlichen. Sein Solo-Debüt Tigerman erschien 1993 und bot neben nur drei eigenen Kompositionen verschiedene alte Blues-Klassiker, unter anderem von Tampa Red, Roosevelt Sykes und Lonnie Johnson. Auch auf dem 94er Nachfolge-Album That’s Life sind nur drei eigene Songs zu hören. Neben einigen Publikationen mit den Fabulous Thunderbirds und einigen weiteren Solo-Alben trat Wilson in den 1990er Jahren regelmäßig mit Bonnie Raitt auf.
Kim Wilson (born January 6, 1951) is an American blues singer and harmonica player. He is best known as the lead vocalist and frontman for The Fabulous Thunderbirds on two hit songs of the 1980s; "Tuff Enuff",[1] and "Wrap It Up."
Career
Wilson was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1951,[2] but he grew up in Goleta, California, where he sometimes went by the stage name of "Goleta Slim." He started with the blues in the late 1960s and was tutored by people like Muddy Waters, Jimmy Rogers, Eddie Taylor, Albert Collins, George "Harmonica" Smith, Luther Tucker and Pee Wee Crayton and was influenced by harmonica players like Little Walter, James Cotton, Big Walter Horton, Slim Harpo and Lazy Lester. Before he moved to Austin, Texas in 1974, he was the leader of the band Aces, Straights and Shuffles in Minneapolis, Minnesota; this band released one single. In Austin he formed The Fabulous Thunderbirds with guitarist Jimmie Vaughan, and they became the house band at the blues club, Antone's, owned by Clifford Antone. Muddy Waters called Wilson, "The greatest harmonica player since Little Walter".
Wilson continues to perform up to 300 concert dates per year at blues music festivals and clubs all over the world, both as leader of The Fabulous Thunderbirds and with the Kim Wilson Blues Allstars.
His powerful style of blues harp playing has been described as "loaded with the textures of a full-blown horn section."

Lester "Mad Dog" Davenport (January 16, 1932 – March 17, 2009),[1] was an American Chicago blues harmonica player and singer.
Born in Tchula, Mississippi, United States, Davenport moved from Mississippi to Chicago, Illinois, when he was 14. There he played with Arthur Spires, Snooky Pryor, and Homesick James, then worked with Bo Diddley, with whom he played harmonica on a 1955 Chess Records session.[2] He led his own group in the 1960s while he worked during the day as a paint sprayer. In the 1980s he was the harmonica player for the Indiana group The Kinsey Report.[2]
In July 1994, Wolf Records released the Maxwell Street Jimmy Davis album, Chicago Blues Session, Vol. 11, the tracks of which Davis had recorded in 1988 and 1989. The collection included Davenport on harmonica, and Kansas City Red playing the drums.[3]
Davenport released his first album under his own name in 1992 and recorded a follow-up in 2002.

The Veldman Brothers sind das lebende Beispiel für eine echte “Bluesbrüderschaft”
Die Band um die Brüder Gerrit (Slide Guitar und Vocals) und Bennie Veldman (Organ keys, Harmonica und Vocals) sind schon unendlich lange und erfolgreich in der Blueswelt unterwegs.
Begleitet werden sie von Fred van der Wende am Bass und Eric Dilisse an den Drums.
Nach zahlreichen beeindruckenden Preisen und Nominierungen im Laufe der letzten Jahre erhält die Band 2011 den „Dutch Blues Foundation Award“.
Die Band kennzeichnet eine grenzenlose Energie gepaart mit sichtbarer und fühlbarer Spielfreude und eigenem Vergnügen an ihrer Musik, die immer aus dem Bauch heraus gespielt wird.
Die vier leidenschaftlichen Musiker verfügen alle über unermessliche Erfahrung in der Szene. Eigene Vorstellungen über ihre Musik und Einflüsse durch die „Helden von früher“ wie The Vaughan Brothers, Muddy Waters, Jimi Hendrix, Elmore James, Howlin' Wolf, Jimmy Smith, the Fabulous Thunderbirds prägen ihren Musikstil.
The Veldman Brothers sind sowohl in kleinen Bars als auch auf großen Festivals zu Hause.
Ihr breites Repertoir reicht von Rhythem & Blues über Swing- und Deltablues bis zu Variationen mit einem Schuss Rock, Soul oder Funk.
Beinahe alle nennenswerten Bluesclubs und Festivals der Niederlande haben sie mit ihrer Musik auf den Kopf gestellt.
Eigene Grenzen kennen The Veldman Brothers nicht, lassen sich aber gern in nur die eine Schublade stecken: „Alles, was pur und echt ist und aus dem Herzen kommt – Blues & Roots, straight from the hart!“

The Veldman Brothers are the ultimate example of the Brotherhood of the Blues.
The band is centered around two brothers: Gerrit on (slide) guitar and Bennie on Organ, keys, harmonica and vocals, and they have been playing the Blues circuit for some time now and with considerable success -- in 2011 they received the award for Best Band from The Dutch Blues Foundation and that is only one of many awards and nominations that have come their way during the years.
Unbridled energy combined with clear enthusiasm in their playing results in a tangible synergy that is pure Blues straight from the heart.
Passionate musicians with a wealth of experience influenced both by themselves and by the 'Greats of the Past' : The Vaughan Brothers, Muddy Waters, Jimi Hendrix, Elmore James, Howlin' Wolf, Jimmy Smith, the Fabulous Thunderbirds and many more.
The Veldman Brothers follow these Giants with extreme respect playing both covers as well as their own original material all of which are performed to perfection in their very own characteristic 'sound'.
The Brothers are at home whether it's a large Festival or at small venues and have knocked the socks off/given killer shows* at most of the well known Blues-clubs and larger venues.
Blues. Rhythm & Blues, Swing Blues, Delta Blues, Blues with just a touch of Rock, Soul or Funk: The Veldman Brothers recognise no labels except " Pure and straight from the Heart".
Blues & Roots: Straight from the heart!

Cristiana Della Vecchia *06.01.
Desperate Blues Girls is the only female blues band in Italy.
Born in 2008, in a few years they've developed their sound playing in clubs and Festivals, in Italy and other countries.
They play a genuine mix of classic blues, rock blues and modern blues, with a little bit of funk and soul: their music is inspired by such great blues artists, like Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Etta James, Stevie Ray Vuaghan, Gary Moore. On the other hand, rock and funk from Koko Taylor, Robben Ford, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Joss Stone, John Mayer.
The interpretative skills of the 5 band members, fused with this music background always guarantees a fun and fascinating live concert.

Hambone Willie Newbern (* vermutlich 1899; † vermutlich 1947) war ein US-amerikanischer Blues-Musiker. Manchmal falsch "Newborn" geschrieben.
Über das Leben Newberns ist wenig bekannt. Er hinterließ ganze sechs Aufnahmen, alle in einer einzigen Sitzung 1929 entstanden, darunter allerdings die erste Aufnahme des Klassikers Roll and Tumble Blues.
Newbern wurde in der Gegend von Brownsville in Tennessee bekannt, wo er oft mit Yank Rachell zusammen auftrat. Sleepy John Estes war sein Schüler – von ihm stammen die meisten überlieferten Angaben zu Newbern.
Von aufbrausender Natur, verbrachte Hambone Willie Newbern einige Zeit im Gefängnis. Er soll bei einer Schlägerei um 1947 ums Leben gekommen sein.

Hambone Willie Newbern (1899–1947)[1] was an American guitar-playing country blues musician.[2] His home community was in the Brownsville, Tennessee area along Tennessee State Route 19.[3] He was reported to have played with Yank Rachell and Sleepy John Estes (from whom most of our knowledge of Hambone was gained) in the 1920s and 1930s.[1] He recorded one of the earliest known versions of the blues standard "Rollin' and Tumblin'" in 1929. He only recorded six tracks in total, which also included, "She Could Toodle-Oo" and "Hambone Willie's Dreamy-Eyed Woman's Blues."[1]
Newbern was a hot-tempered man who eventually was beaten to death in a prison brawl, around 1947.
