Featuring blues aficionado and Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra saxophonist Sherman Irby alongside an all-star lineup including, Grammy-nominated Deshawn Alexander and Ronnie Foster on B-3 organ; Grammy-winner Christone “Kingfish” Ingram and Grammy-nominated Emily King on guitar and vocals; 2025 Grammy-winner guitarist Ruthie Foster; former JLCO drummer Herlin Riley; Grammy-nominated pedal steel guitarist Roosevelt Collier (Jelly Roll); New York Blues Hall of Fame inductee, guitarist Chris Bergson; and hosted by B-3 expert Pete Fallico.

JLCO’s Sherman Irby reflects, “My love for the blues comes from being exposed to the genre in my early childhood. My father and I used to wake up early in the morning, before work and school, to watch a local country tv show out of Birmingham, AL called, ‘The Country Boy Eddie Show.’ Watching musicians play and sing old country, blues, and bluegrass songs inspired me to pursue music.”
