Jimmy Pritchard Band
|
![]()
|
From the moment he caught B.B. King on an episode of Sanford & Son at the age of 11, the Delaware native knew the Blues was something special. Eyes wide, this moment was one he would never forget, picking up his first bass shortly after. This experience sparked a musical career spanning four decades. Along with his own recordings, Jimmy is honored to have been asked to contribute his sound on close to two dozen albums. Without a doubt, Jimmy Pritchard has established himself as a true force in today’s blues scene, delivering the talent, charism and drive needed to keep audiences engaged and grooving to the music.

Slim and the Perkolators
|
The band features experienced guitarist Tim 'The Perkolator' Perks and young harmonica player Derek 'Harmonica Slim' Matteson. Tim has played with many local acts and references a host of guitarists in a long list of influences – the Three Kings, T-Bone Walker and Chuck Berry amongst them. Derek only started playing harmonica in his early twenties but after seeing Mikey Junior and Steve Guyger he became obsessed with the instrument. The band's gig list is extensive and, as well as playing a lot in their local area, they also tour and were chosen to represent the Central Delaware Blues Society at the 2020 International Blues Challenge. ![]()

Mikey Junior
|
|
|
Self-taught from his impressive collection of blues vinyl, Mikey was a full time musician before he even graduated high-school. By the time he was in his early twenties, seasoned players were taking notice and it wasn’t long before one blues society after another scrambled to get him to their stage. Before long, Mikey was a staple of the summer blues circuit on the East Coast. He bridges the gap between generations of music lovers and makes it cool to love something old-school, winning over audiences throughout the country.

Voodoo Deville
|
Between sets, you'll once again be entertained by Voodoo Deville in the beer tent! The Voodoo DeVille band has been a local Chester County favorite since 1998. While Chicago blues was their starting point, their repertoire has expanded to include jump, boogie, swing, early rock 'n roll, and rockabilly. Counting many of the greats as their idols and influences, they don't feel bound to stick strictly to one style or one way of playing. If it's fun to play, then it's in their set list. The music is upbeat and danceable and proven to please a wide range of audiences. ![]()
