Recently signed to Gulf Coast Records by blues legend Mike Zito, powerhouse vocalist and songwriter Kelli Baker continues her meteoric rise as one of the most electrifying voices in modern blues-rock. With a voice that commands attention and lyrics that cut to the bone, Baker has earned a reputation for setting stages ablaze across the country....

Crowned the winner of the 2024 615 Blues Revival Competition in Nashville—judged by blues icons like Kenny Wayne Shepherd—Kelli is more than a performer; she’s a reckoning. Her July tour included support dates for Grammy-winning guitarist Christone “Kingfish” Ingram and genre-defying Samantha Fish, placing her alongside the most influential names in contemporary blues. Fall ‘25 brought a rousing impact, opening the headliner stage for ICP at Full Throttle, and ZZ Top at NYC’s esteemed, Beacon Theatre.

From her early days singing in Phoenix gospel choirs to lighting up New York’s legendary venues like The Bitter End and The Cutting Room, Kelli’s sound is an arresting fusion of rock grit, blues soul, and siren-like poetry. Her music has topped the Roots Music Report, and her live shows are known for leaving audiences breathless.

Hymn For Her have been touring across the country and abroad for years, spreading their juiced-up, down-home roots rock and roll. From ruckus outlaw to country folk, their sound shakes your bones and soothes your soul—injecting backwoods country blues with a dose of Americana that has been described as “Hell’s Angels meets the Amish” and “hillbillies with electronics opening Pandora’s Box.”...

Hymn For Her spent winter 2026 tucked into a Maine cabin, drawing from an overflowing well of new songs and capturing videos live by the fireside.

Recording begins this summer between road trips throughout the Northeast and Midwest.

Hymn For Her is Lucy and Wayne—a duo known for raw, road-tested performances that move easily between ruckus outlaw energy and stripped-down country folk.

Their catalog has been built the same way they live—independent and in motion.

From Year of the Golden Pig (recorded in their bedroom and mixed by Phil Nicolo in Philadelphia) to Lucy and Wayne and The amAirican Stream (recorded in their Airstream on a U.S. coast-to-coast run and mixed by Jim Diamond at Ghetto Recorders in Detroit), to later recordings with Vance Powell and Mitch Easter, the thread has remained DIY at its core, with a wide sonic reach.

Drive Til U Die was split between Nashville with Vance Powell and North Carolina with Mitch Easter.

Pop-N-Downers, recorded at Sputnik Studio with Powell and Mike Fahey, brought wider attention, with coverage in Rolling Stone and a slot at Glastonbury Festival.

Over time, their daughter Diver—raised on the road—began stepping onstage, later contributing more fully on piano and vocals. That evolution led to the 2024 release Bloodier Than Blood, recorded in their “Bambi Airstream Studios” in Florida. Neighbor Bud Snyder contributed to the mixing of select tracks, while Mike Fahey mixed the bulk of the record at Starbird Sound in Nashville.

They’ve shared stages with Ronnie Earl, Mike Zito, Joanna Connor, and Joanne Shaw Taylor, and their album Hallucinate earned the praise: “This is what Steely Dan would sound like if they played the blues.” With a mission to modernize the genre, Bees Deluxe delivers blues that are soulful, sophisticated, and unmistakably now.

Anything can happen when musician, composer and filmmaker Stephen DiJoseph enters a studio or takes the stage. Whether it’s the percussive grooves of his solo guitar and vocals, the quirk and funk of his trademark jazz/classical “Pianopoetry”, the trance-electronica of his 'Whirld Music Trio' project or the ease and flow of his ambient orchestral productions, it’s undeniable that DiJoseph is an artist of many skills.... With 45 years, thousands of performances, 11 CD’s, multiple singles, many video productions, TV and radio appearances, Stephen’s latest accomplishment is an international distribution deal with Deko/Warner Music Group ADA for his new song collection ‘Songs dreams circumstance’.

What also makes DiJoseph unique is another very “outspoken collaborator” as he refers to his experience of living with Tourette’s Syndrome. “Tourette’s showed up for me around the same time as my passion for music, around 6 so, It's always been the 'art in the syndrome' for me,” DiJoseph recalls.

Stephen’s autobiographical movie A SynapTic Adventure: Tourette’s and Beyond won Best Emerging Documentary in the Bucks Fever Film Festival. In it, DiJoseph tells the story of growing up in “the dark” as he explains,,, trying to understand the cause of the strange urges, movements and compulsions that filled his childhood. Conditions, that to this day, both challenge and propel his mission to create and inspire.

With that passion and “partnership” of Tourette’s, DiJoseph has etched out an award-winning career that spans 45 years, 11 CD's, multiple music video productions and countless live performances in The US and abroad.

Barkley Cove is the band to watch in the new folk scene. Raised on collaborative songwriting, rich vocal harmony, and the folk revival records of the 60s and beyond, members Jillian Dolan (guitar), Yusuf Miller (mandolin), Silas Gross (banjo), and Robert Myers (bass) mix genres of folk, rock, country, and bluegrass to create a distinctly original sound that will linger in your ear long after the last chord. ...

As their reach expands throughout the United States, Barkley Cove's imaginative songwriting and dedication to originality continue to push the boundaries of new folk music.

Our newest single, Cecilia, is out now. Written during our first gathering in the basement practice rooms of Millersville University, Cecilia is the tune that first defined our fellowship. Each verse and harmony was created to explore our synchronicities as musicians, a theme reflected in the lyrics. Cecilia reflects the universal experience of departure and arrival, and the uncertainty that comes with every new journey.

“Cecilia was the song that brought Barkley Cove together. Before that writing session, we had no idea how well we’d connect creatively. But everything just clicked—the flow, the laughter, the harmonies, the improvisation, the conversations. It set the tone for what we could become and gave us a beautiful foundation to keep growing from.” - Jillian Dolan

Jamey's is honored and excited to present a very special intimate acoustic concert featuring a fun repertoire of Naughty Bawdy Blues and Swingin' Syncopatin' Jazz tunes from the '20s and '30s with MARIA MULDAUR, one of the most beloved international artists in modern music. Maria will be accompanied by Bruce Katz, An eight-time Blues Music Award nominee and 2019 winner and alumnus of Gregg Allman, Ronnie Earl, and Joe Louis Walker's bands....

Maria Muldaur is best known world-wide for her 1973 mega-hit “Midnight at the Oasis,” which received several Grammy nominations, and enshrined her forever in the hearts of Baby Boomers everywhere; but despite her considerable pop music success, her 60 year career could best be described as a long and adventurous odyssey through the various forms of American Roots Music.

During the Folk Revival of the early '60s, she began exploring and singing early Blues, Bluegrass and Appalachian “Old Timey” Music, beginning her recording career in 1963 with the Even Dozen Jug Band, and shortly thereafter joining the very popular Jim Kweskin Jug Band, touring and recording with them throughout the '60s.

In the 53 years since “Midnight at the Oasis” Maria has toured extensively worldwide and has recorded 44 solo albums covering all kinds of American Roots Music, including Blues, Gospel, RandB, Jug Band, Jazz and Big Band (not to mention several award-winning children’s albums). She has now settled comfortably into her favorite idiom, the Blues. Often collaborating with some of the top names in the business,( Jerry Garcia, Aaron Neville, Dr. John, Bonnie RaItt, Taj Mahal, Mavis Staples, Bill Wyman, etc.), Maria has recorded and produced on-average an album per year, several of which have been nominated for Grammys and other awards.

Her critically acclaimed 2001 Stony Plain Records release, Richland Woman Blues, was nominated for a Grammy, and for a Blues Foundation Award for Best Traditional Blues Album of the Year, as was the follow up to that album, Sweet Lovin’ Ol’ Soul. Her timely 2008 album, Yes We Can!, featured her “Women’s Voices for Peace Choir,” which includes: Bonnie Raitt, Joan, Baez, Jane Fonda, Odetta, Phoebe Snow, Holly Near and others.

In 2009 Maria teamed up with John Sebastian, David Grisman, and Dan Hicks for Maria Muldaur and Her Garden of Joy, which garnered Maria her 5th Grammy Nomination, and was also nominated for Best Traditional Blues Album of the Year by The Blues Foundation.

In 2011 Maria released Steady Love, a contemporary electric Blues album that reflects the kind of music she loves to perform live - what she calls “Bluesiana Music” - her own brand of New Orleans-flavored Blues, RandB and “Swamp Funk”. Steady Love reached #1 on the Living Blues Chart, and garnered her another nomination for Best Traditional Female Blues Artist from the Blues Foundation.

In 2012, for her 40th album, Maria produced the critically acclaimed…. "First Came Memphis Minnie", a loving tribute to the pioneering Blues woman who inspired and influenced so many female Blues artists who followed in her footsteps, many of whom joined Maria on this special project: Bonnie Raitt, Phoebe Snow, Ruthie Foster, Koko Taylor and Rory Block accompanied by the amazing guitar work of Del Rey, David Bromberg, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Roy Rogers, and others.

In 2013, taking a brief hiatus from her yearly recording schedule, Maria focused on 3 special collaborations, performing worldwide with the 50th Anniversary Kweskin Jug Band Reunion concerts, teaming up with the Campbell Brothers, world-renowned Sacred Steel Gospel artists, for a very special presentation entitled, “Spirit and The Blues”, and touring as Special Guest Artist with Bill Wyman and The Rhythm Kings.

2014 marked 40 years since Maria’s big hit “Midnight at the Oasis” was riding at the top of the charts. To celebrate this landmark, Maria created a multi-media retrospective "Way Past Midnight", which chronicles her long journey to "The Oasis and Beyond". This special presentation features all her hits and fan faves from every stage of her career, as well as fascinating, entertaining, (often humorous!) stories of her personal encounters, friendships, and collaborations with many of the greatest names in music.

In 2018, Maria released her 41st album "DON'T YOU FEEL MY LEG ~ The Naughty Bawdy Blues of Blue Lu Barker", which was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Traditional Blues category. Recorded in New Orleans with an amazing cast of A-List NOLA musicians, this album finds Maria at her finest, and is true to the spirit and soul of New Orleans and Barker's funny, coy, and risqué material. This marked her 6th Grammy Nomination! Maria says “it's an honor to be nominated. I'm so grateful that this music is being recognized and enjoyed again after all these years!’

In Sept. 2019, The Americana Music Association awarded Maria "The Lifetime Achievement Americana Trailblazer Award" for her lifelong work of covering the depth and breadth of American Roots music and for being one of the pioneers who laid the groundwork for what we've come to call 'Americana Music'.

In 2020, Maria collaborated with world acclaimed New Orleans band Tuba Skinny and recorded her 43rd album, "Let’s Get Happy Together", a collection of 20s and 30s vintage Jazz and Blues. Released in May 2021, the album received nothing but rave reviews. It received The Blue’s Foundation’s Nomination for Best Acoustic Album, and was voted Best Traditional Jazz Album in OffBeat Magazine's Best Of The Beat Awards.

In 2021, Maria and her guitarist, Craig Caffall, wrote and co-produced her latest single “I’m Vaccinated and I’m Ready For Love” to help inspire others to get vaccinated and to celebrate her feeling of liberation and renewal after her second shot.

2026 finds Maria with her 7th Grammy nomination for her 44th album, "One Hour Mama: the Blues of Victoria Spivey", as well as 2 Blues Foundation nominations, for Best Traditional Blues Album and Best Female Blues Singer This year marks the 53rd Anniversary of "Midnight At The Oasis", and Maria and her band will be presenting her Way Past Midnight multimedia retrospective in special performances throughout the country.
