<h2>Johnny Burgin Blues Revue</h2>
<a target="_blank" href="https://johnnyburgin.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">Johnny Burgin</a> • <a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/bruce.ewan.3/" rel="nofollow noopener">Bruce Ewan</a> • Tommy Hannigan • Mark Stutso
Johnny plays 200+ shows a year across the US, Europe, <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1998787123091?aff=oddtdtcreator" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">and Japan.</a> Raised in Mississippi, he headed to the University of Chicago at 18 but got his real education at "blues university," learning the West Side sound directly from Howlin' Wolf-style singer Tail Dragger, who gave him his first pro gigs. Johnny went on to tour and record with legends Pinetop Perkins, Sam Lay, and Billy Boy Arnold. Vintage Guitar calls his playing "stellar fretwork, gloriously loose, earthy and immediate Chicago blues."
He's released ten albums on Delmark and Vizztone, including J<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1998787123091?aff=oddtdtcreator" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ohnny Burg</a>in Live (with Charlie Musselwhite, Nancy Wright, and Rae Gordon, #3 on the Living Blues Radio Chart) and No Border Blues: Japan, the first US compilation of Japan's underground blues scene. He earned a BMA nomination for Howlin' at Greaseland and a Blast Blast nod for Best Live Release.
Harmonica ace Bruce Ewan has been a fixture of the DC blues s<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1998787123091?aff=oddtdtcreator" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">cene since</a> 1975, dubbed "a harmonica wizard" by the Washington Post. He's shared stages with John Lee Hooker, Albert Collins, and Carey Bell, and toured Europe, Latin America, and South Africa. A master of diatonic and chromatic harp, Bruce blends Chicago-style flair with jazzy inflections and deep blues history.
Tommy Hannigan is a seasoned bassist whose deep pocket, musical versatility, and unshakeable feel have made him a trusted presence on the DMV roots-rock and blues scene. A native Texan, he has played in numerous groups over the years, including The Shambles and the Grand Dukes, and has backed artists such as Johnny Burgin.
Now the bass player for the legendary Nighthawks, Hannigan brings a powerful, song-first approach that fits the band’s blues, R&amp;B, roots-rock, and rock ’n’ roll legacy. Whether anchoring a hard-driving groove or giving a ballad the room to breathe, Tommy is the kind of player who makes every band around him sound better.
Mark Stutso is a powerhouse drummer and vocalist whose career spans rock, blues, and American roots music. After trading five years in the West Virginia coal mines for life on the road, the self-taught musician built a reputation through years with Jimmy Thackery, Ruffryder, Trix, and other regional acts. Now a driving force behind legendary D.C. blues-and-roots band The Nighthawks, Stutso combines deep-pocket drumming with commanding vocals shaped by decades of live performance.

Central Virginia's finest up-and-coming rockabilly band brings a hot, danceable mix of 1940s-50s classic country, hillbilly, western swing, electric bluegrass, surf instrumentals, and rockabilly — plus Brandon Wayne's own killer originals. His sweet nasal twang is one of the finest hillbilly voices on the scene today.

Brandon grew up with a banjo in his hand, and Central Virginia's country, bluegrass, and hillbilly traditions run deep in his blood. The band has honed their sound on their own monthly Charlottesville cable access show, "The Blue Ridge Barn Dance," and become regular favorites at Northside Grille, Death Ridge Brewery, and Chisholm Vineyards. In 2025, they were invited to play the Red, Hot and Blue Rockabilly Weekender in Canada and the Rockin' Race Jamboree in Spain — proof these guys are the real deal.

<h3>Roadworks 2026</h3>
Forty years after the bootleg recording that unexpectedly launched her career, singer-songwriter, activist and uncompromising storyteller Michelle Shocked returns with Bootleg This!—a powerful new audio memoir and live performance.
After a 13-year blacklist, Shocked is breaking the silence on her own terms. Part concert, part memoir and part act of defiance, the show fuses carefully selected songs with candid stories of artistic survival, media misadventures and the ongoing fight for creative ownership.
Calm, confident and battle-tested, Shocked delivers every story and song with lethal focus—building toward a full-throated, air-punching celebration of resilience.

“I knew it would work—I just didn’t know it would work so well.”
“Michelle Shocked is a true trailblazer who knows how to play with fire.” — Rolling Stone

<h2><a href="https://drunkenprayer.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Drunken Prayer</a></h2>
Morgan Geer writes songs that could emerge from a highly blissed-out biker bar or a swampy ashram. Touring with Bobby Matt Patton of Drive-by Truckers on bass, and Claude Coleman Jr. from Ween on drums, Drunken Prayer transcends the bounds of “Americana”.
&nbsp; &nbsp;On Thy Burdens, the new Drunken Prayer record, Morgan partnered up with Patton, who grew up playing in Pentecostal church. The pair recorded their album in North Mississippi with friends from Appalachia and The Delta, including members of Wednesday, Band of Heathens, and Jimbo Mathis’ group.&nbsp;
&nbsp; &nbsp;Some of us get a little squeamish when it comes to devotional music. Think of the still generally mystified response that Bob Dylan’s “Christian” records get to this day, even among diehard fans. Thy Burdens is a “praise” record in perhaps the same way that the Byrds’ Sweetheart of the Rodeo is a country record. Morgan has a deep familiarity with gospel-blues, country-blues, the American spiritual vernacular, but with one foot in the tabernacle and another in the honky-tonk.
&nbsp; &nbsp;Geer has been releasing astonishing songs that have largely gone under-noticed, though a core group of initiates know that he is onto something deep. Listen to his tune “Cordellia,” from 2019’s Cordellia Elsewhere, which opens with the lines “I hate what they did to my town, so I moved to another town” – a perfect distillation of American restlessness, rendered with a crafty tunefulness worthy of Elvis Costello, complete with sly lyrical hat-tips to Shakespeare.&nbsp; In 2026 The New Orleans band Deslondes included it on their covers album of influential songs. Alongside like minded artists as Johnny Cash, Swamp Dogg, and Clifton Chenier, Glide Magazine says ”That song alone justifies this album’s existence.”
&nbsp; &nbsp;Morgan landed on the name “Drunken Prayer” after a chance conversation with Tom Waits at a Bodega Coast fish market about rats.
