Little Charlie Baty (Guitar)
Little Charlie Baty is the former leader and masterful guitarist from Alligator Records' recording act "Little Charlie & The Nightcats". Charlie and the Nightcats have recorded 12 albums on Alligator and have been one of the West Coast's most successful blues acts, touring the globe for over 25 years. They've played major festivals you and every blues joint from Maine to Spain.
"Baty's straight blues playing is eye-popping...he stretches solos to the breaking point, skittering on the edge, where one wrong note will bring the whole thing crashing down." - Guitar World
"Little Charlie Baty plays as much guitar as Eric Clapton and Buddy Guy put together....He is one of the swiftest, most fluent guitarists working in any genre". - The Village Voice

Anson Funderburgh (Guitar)
Anson Funderburgh has earned the respect of artists Delbert McClinton, Boz Scaggs, Jimmie & Stevie Ray Vaughan and Ronnie Earl. Through the years, these musicians have called on Anson to lend his tremendous guitar talents to their projects.
Funderburgh recorded with the Fabulous Thunderbirds on their Butt Rockin' album, and went solo in 1981, when the New Orleans-based BlackTop label released Talk to You by Hand, the label's first release. He continued his association in the '90s with Black Top releasing Tell Me What I Want to Hear (1991), Live at Grand Emporium (1995), and That's What They Want (1997). After releasing nine albums on Black Top, Funderburgh released Change in my Pocket for Bullseye Blues, which won several W.C. Handy Awards.
“Funderburgh remains a musician’s musician. He’ll explode into a fiery and melodic solo, and then seamlessly recede into a song at just the right moment to propel the rhythm...he makes sure the songs both breathe and burn...a band that truly understands the essence of the genre.” - Blues Revue
"None of the younger crop of blues guitarist come close as Anson does to achieving the classic Stratocaster tone defined by Otis Rush in the '50's and Magic Sam in the '60's. The Rockets have landed and Anson is at the bridge." - Guitar Player Magazine

The ensemble has a Grammy nomination for "Remembering Little Walter" (Blind Pig Records) and two Blues Music Awards! Their new CD " The Hustle Is Really On" is #2 on National Living Blues Radio charts this month!
