BUDDY
GUY: Legendary guitarist, Buddy Guy, is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
inductee, a major influence on rock titans like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and
Stevie Ray Vaughan, a pioneer of Chicago's fabled West Side sound, and a living
link to that city's halcyon days of electric blues. He has received 6 Grammy
Awards, 28 Blues Music Awards (the most any artist has received), the Billboard
magazine Century Award for distinguished artistic achievement, and the
Presidential National Medal of Arts. Rolling Stone ranked him in the top 25 of
its "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time."
ROSIE FLORES:
(Performing with James Intveld) The Rockabilly Filly, Rosie Flores, took flight
in SoCal and has been a major figure in the Los Angeles, Austin and Nashville
music scenes. She blends rockabilly, honky tonk, jazz, and Western swing along
with traditional influences from her Tex-Mex heritage. Rosie's solo recordings
have found homes on both the Billboard and Gavin charts and are featured in
seven motion pictures.
JAMES INTVELD: (Performing with
Rosie Flores) A native of Los Angeles, James Intveld is a multi-instrumentalist
singer, songwriter and actor. He's in high demand for his skills as a player;
as adept at the slap bass, slide, steel, and drums as on guitar. Continuously
cast in movies, TV and videos, James was the singing voice of Johnny Depp's
character in the John Waters film Cry Baby. Intveld plays his own brand of
rockabilly and his live performances will have you rockin' out at the
beach!
THE MANNISH BOYS REVUE: Few blues acts have
perfected the tricky maneuver of honoring the storied history of the Blues,
while at the same time keeping the music up-to-date, as well as The Mannish
Boys. It's a balancing act that they've honed over the course of six
highly-acclaimed CD releases and countless nights gigging on concert stages
around the world. Conceived as an all-star showcase for the cream of the west
coast blues crop, The Mannish Boys have stayed true to that
vision.
KID RAMOS: (Performing with The Mannish Boys) If
David "Kid" Ramos had gone into the family business with his mother and
step-father, he might be a professional opera singer today; to the eternal
thanks of blues fans around the world, Kid Ramos decided to march to a different
drummer. From his time with The Fabulous Thunderbirds to his solo career, Ramos
has become one of the most exciting, powerful blues guitarists in the business.
Kid Ramos will be honored this Saturday at the Orange County Music Awards -

SUGARAY
RAYFORD: (Performing with The Mannish Boys) Texas born Caron "Sugaray"
Rayford began his musical career at the age of 7 singing & playing drums in
church, and his gospel influence can be heard and felt in his music. In 2011,
Sugaray became one of the lead vocalists for the Mannish Boys and sang lead
vocals on Double Dynamite, the Mannish Boys CD that won Best Traditional Blues
Album in May 2013 at the Blues Music Awards. When Sugaray belts out a song, you
not only hear it, you feel it. The excitement is palpable when he takes the
stage; he is a superb vocalist and entertainer.
