STEVE KERIN
In the Professor Longhair tradition from Lafayette, Louisiana
The Great Flood of 2005 sent ripples around the country, musical ripples that left people on our side of the country like Steve Kerin, who plays Louisiana piano and sings and shouts and carries on. The Landmark reminds some of Tipitina's in New Orleans and Steve reminds everybody of the Professor when he trills those trills and rolls around that keyboard.

J.J. KASNER BAND
Texas swing and a taste of the blues via Austin, Texas
Jim Kasner is a recent returnee to the coast from Austin, Texas, where he learned Texas swing and the dry blues. Backed by the Blue Nation rhythm section and Jules Kasner on vocals, Jim has hit a nice stride. The swing tunes carry that echo of the 40s and give the dancers a little more room to sway and there are those at the Landmark who can make the moves just as they would have to Bob Wills or Spade Cooley.

JAKE BLAIR BAND
Sizzling' blues guitar from a young man on his way up
In the four years 20-year old Jake Blair has played at the Landmark we've had the pleasure of watching the development of guitar sizzle at its cleanest. Jake is a juke box of things he's heard, things he's experienced through the sound and things he can spit back with his own slash and drive. He's settled into this three-piece band, where distractions few and the riffs just roll on.

WOLFE
From New York City, psychedelic rock and blues led by the former lead guitar player for Sheryl Crow's touring band
The Wolfe here is Todd Wolfe and the tour went for five years. Crow was a rising star and she opened for a rather distinguished cro wd in the mid 1990s. The list includes Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones and the Eagles. Todd got off the road around 1998, began running the blues jam at Manny's Car Wash in New York City, then evolved this new touring band that hits the Landmark. Lately, this band shared the bill with the likes of The Allman Brothers, Black Crowes, Blues Traveler, and John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. Wolfe has three CDs, "Delaware Crossing," (2004), "Wolfe" (2002) and "Live from Manny's Car Wash" (1999).
