Event Category: The Bank and Blues Club

Inspired by classic & electric blues, the award winning Bridget Kelly Band has placed their unique stamp on the blues genre, with high-energy live performances and a hybrid sound that mixes Texas and Memphis Blues with various Southern Blues traditions. The powerful and sultry vocals of singer Bridget Kelly and the incendiary lead guitar work of Tim Fik forge a signature hybrid sound that combines female urban blues with riff-driven rockin’ blues guitar; held together by a dynamic rhythm section comprised of Tim Mulberry on drums and Greg Mullens on bass.

Orlando-born Selwyn Birchwood whips up his blues not only on guitar but also on his lap steel. As a 19-year-old, Birchwood toured in the band of Texas-bred bluesman Sonny Rhodes, who urged his protégé not only to continue pursuing the blues but also to get a college degree. And so Birchwood did, earning an MBA from the University of Tampa.

Birchwood released his debut album, “FL Boy,” in 2011, then he and his band placed ninth at the 2012 International Blues Challenge in Memphis. The next year, Birchwood won the 2013 International Blues Challenge and also the Albert King Guitarist of the Year Award. That led to his signing by the prestigious blues label Alligator Records, which released Birchwood’s “Don’t Call No Ambulance” in 2014.

Birchwood’s latest album, “Pick Your Poison,” was released by Alligator in May and includes such songs as “My Whiskey Loves My Ex,” “R We Krazy?,” “”Corporate Drone,” “Police State,” and “Even the Saved Need Saving” – all with the bluesman’s gravelly voice making him sound seasoned far beyond his 32 years.

“I write and sing what I know,” Birchwood says. “Sonny always said, ‘Play what’s in your heart.’ I’ve never lost sight of that.”

Special thanks to:

A prolific songwriter, Dwight has always made music that straddles a fence between blues and country rock, and he once even simultaneously released an album in each style. But he seems to have found his own voice since moving in 2011. Dwight’s passion and honesty are what nevertheless makes him a bluesman more than anything else. Dwight was musically inspired by Albert King’s blues guitar tone but he was raised on a horse ranch in Morgan Hill, Calif., immersed in country music of Johnny Cash and Hank Williams.

Critical accolades have followed Shane Dwight wherever he has gone. USA Today simply called him an Ace songwriter while “Blues Revue magazine stated: “Shane Dwight is a talented musician and an impressive songwriter… Dwight’s guitar playing is as substantial as his songwriting.” The San Francisco Chronicle called him “a music sensation….;”Andrew Gilbert of the San Jose Mercury News said of Dwight: “Tough, lean guitar work and commanding vocals, he is a tour de force… Shane is a killer songwriter, singer, guitarist and performer… he is an artist who’s creating a soulful Americana sound.”

Over the past 10 years, Shane Dwight has performed over 2,000 live shows, released eight CDs with over 60,000 units sold, been a repeat performer on the Legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise (West Coast and East Coast), headlined and performed at some of the biggest music festivals around the world, including Beale Street Music Festival, Bayfront Blues Festival, Bethlehem Musikfest, Ottawa Bluesfest and Portland Waterfront Blues Festival. He has performed with and/or shared the stage with a wide variety of some of the biggest names in music: B.B. King, Los Lobos, Los Lonely Boys, Night Ranger, The Marshall Tucker Band, Johnny Winter, Etta James, The Doobie Brothers and Jimmie Vaughan, to name a few. His music has been heard on hundreds of radio stations in over 30 different countries.

The Mark Hodgson Band is a four member band that includes:

Bill Carter – drums
Dan Walters – bass and vocals
Joe King – guitars and vocals
Mark Hodgson – vocals, harmonica, and guitar

The Mark Hodgson Band came into national prominence primarily in the years 1995-2000 with its residency as the house band at Boot Hill Saloon, while performing on a regular basis at The Bank & Blues Club.  With the release of “Wednesday Night at The Boot” on CD, the band became internationally known as a hard edged blues rock outfit who could go from early blues recordings by Son House, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Little Walter and T’Bone Walker to ZZ Top, Jimi Hendriz, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, Tom Waits and many more.  Serving as backup band from the late tenor saxophonist, Noble “Thin Man” Watts, the quartet expanded their playlist to include Watts originals, King Curtis, Louis Jordan, Ray Charles, Bill Doggett, and the odd Boots Randolph instrumental.

The Mark Hodgson Band will reunite for the first time since their classic honk- tonk recording, “Live at OB’s” and will offer both remastered recordings the day of the show.

On Friday May 17th, Grammy Nominated Victor Wainwright & The Train roll back into Daytona!

Though his career began over a decade ago with genuine rock n’ roll honky-tonk, Wainwright has broadened his artistic scope over the years to include music representing virtually every corner of the blues. His insatiable interest in music discovery, sheer love for entertaining and curiosity have led him all around the world, and the resulting perspective is a reflection of his passion for entertaining and creating progressive roots music in an effort to move the art-form forward. Composer, producer, vocalist, and award wining entertainer and piano player; Victor Wainwright is a raucous high-octane, dynamic performer and crowd-pleaser with soul to spare.

Kids Rock the Nation will be auctioning signed guitars and other memorabilia during the evening.
