WMNF

		Nervous Turkey 5:25PM to 6:25PM • Raucous Blues Described as "raucous blues," Nervous Turkey adds punk, rock and edge to their blues sound. The 3-piece band is also known for their fowl-mouths and intense, fiery performances. Frontman, Ernie Locke will certainly grab your attention with his overwhelming personality (and size). They attract a hard crowd so you can be intrigued but also forewarned. Check Out More HERE




		Ruthie Foster 6:50PM to 8:10PM • Blues, Folk & R&B She's drawn comparisons to Ella Fitzgerald and Aretha Franklin but Ruthie Foster has carved out her own brand of jazz, country, blues and soul music. Her last album was nominated for a Grammy for Best Contemporary Blues Album and her most written-about attributes have been her voice as well as her guitar/piano playing performances.

		Alejandro Escovedo and the Sensitive Boys 8:30PM to 9:45PM • Melting Pot Rock He started out being heavily influenced by the 70s punk rock generation but now, Alejandro Escovedo has progressed into a unique mixture of country, roots-rock, blues and even Mexican folk. And with all these genres coming together, Escovedo delivers it with intense showmanship, thus, never really letting go of his punk roots. Check Out More HERE




		Jason Ricci & New Blood 10:20PM to 11:30PM • Scorching Harmonica Blues In Jason Ricci and New Blood, you'll find a good blend of edgy, harp driven blues paired with a heavy stand up bass and perhaps some punk sensibilities in there as well. Ricci is know for being a killer on that harmonica so for fans of Little Walter and Sonny Boy Williamson, you'll certainly find something to cheer about. Check Out More HERE




		The Soulphonics & Ruby Velle 11:55PM to 1:00AM • Soul w/ Horns & Female Vocals Combining soul, funk and R&B is what the Soulphonics are all about. Add a classic voice in Ruby Velle with a three piece horn section and you'll get a sweet vintage vibe from the group. Seriously, check out Velle's pipes and seductive stage presence for this one, it's a must see. Check Out More HERE
