Beale Street Caravan

The Love Light Orchestra -- Blues Music Award-winner John Nemeth on vocals, Joe Restivo on guitar, Tim Goodwin on bass, Earl Lowe on drums, Gerald Stephens on keys, and a five piece horn section that includes Marc Franklin, Scott Thompson, Art Edmaiston, Jason Yasinksy, and Kirk Smothers. William Lee Ellis continues his series, Religion and The Blues.

This week on Beale Street Caravan, we feature powerhouse vocalist, songwriter, and entertainer Kesha Cook Norman, live from the Green Room at Crosstown Arts in Memphis, TN. Blending blues, soul, and R&B with an authenticity rooted in gospel tradition, Kesha delivers a performance that is both deeply personal and full of energy.

This week, we have the main event from the Hill Country Picnic. Kenny Brown, reigning King of the Hill Country, is with us with an incendiary set of gut bucket, hip-shaking blues.
