2017 Grammy nominee, B.B. King Entertainer of the Year, 7x Blues Music Award winner, 26x nominee, and 2015 Contemporary Blues Female Artist of the Year Janiva Magness

After Janiva Magness added a 2016 Grammy nomination to her 26 Blues Music Award nominations — with seven wins, including Entertainer of the Year — she might have taken at least a short rest on her laurels.

Here’s what people are saying about Aaron Norcross:

Pat Travers, Vintage Guitar Magazine Interview (June 2015):

Now very few people are playing bluesy, guitar. I’ve met some 16/17 year old’s playing it right; a kid up in Boston, Aaron Norcross Jr.,plays a Telecaster and he’s the real deal. Its amazing some one that young can have so much understanding and expression. So, there are one or two acts out there.

This is a young gun with a guitar as his weapon. Stevie Ray Vaughan meets Machine Gun Rockabilly Blues. So impressed with this new talent and we encourage all live music lovers to see his live act. This kid will be in the big time. Check him out. Continue Reading »
