Blues (Fannie Mae)" honoring his uncle Leon King. Pulling from a lifetime of doo-wop,
R&B, gospel, soul, and blues influences, and seasoned with dashes of humor and strife,
Turner created a musical gumbo which was released on his 75th birthday.

Young and lastly for Marva Wright. However, his roots and influence in gospel music

Kathy and the Kilowatts is led by Kathy Murray, who cut her teeth during the golden
era of Austin's blues and R&B scene in the 1980s and early 90s, sharing the stage
with the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughan, the Fabulous Thunderbirds and blues godfather
W.C. Clark. Throughout her professional evolution, the blues has been the foundation
of Murray's music and songwriting, but she's never been just a one-trick pony.
"My sound encompasses the influences of all of Texas' rootsy regional music styles
that I've been exposed to throughout my life: blues, swamp pop, rock, zydeco, soul,
rockabilly and conjunto," she says. Murray's soulful, emphatic vocals have been
described as "the love child of Jimmy Reed and Wanda Jackson."

Young and then for Blues Queen of New Orleans Marva Wright. Turner's earliest musical
endeavors include work as a recording artist for the M-Pac! and One-Derful! labels.
He also appears on gospel recordings with The Kindly Shepherds and Otis Clay. He
toured with Dee Clark and the Original Soul Stirrers. Turner's award-winning
autobiography, Survivor-The Benny Turner Story, was published in 2017. A native of
New Madrid, Missouri, Morris Dollison, Jr. was born in 1941 and is better known as
Cash McCall, a name that has been renowned ever since his 1966 recording "When You
Wake Up" became a national R&B hit. McCall was a Nashboro Records recording artist
while a member of the Gospel Songbirds. He went on to record as a solo R&B artist for
the Thomas, Checker, and Paula labels, and worked at One-derful! and Chess Records
as a session musician and songwriter. Performing with Minnie Riperton, Etta James,
Bo Diddley, and many more while living in Los Angeles, Cash was also a member of
blues legend Willie Dixon's band, the All-Stars, and co-produced his Grammy Award
-winning Hidden Charms album.

Completion of Leave the Light On, the group's studio debut, reflects three years
of sheer determination to coordinate schedules of a group consisting of Memphis'
most in-demand artists, in addition to navigating the unforeseen impact of a
global health crisis on the entire music industry. Though the maturity and
dexterity of the orchestra members shone loud and clear on the group's first
release, the sophomore effort refines and elevates the group's presentation,
employing clarity and quality complementary to the veteran musicianship within
Love Light's ranks. Tossing the songbook aside in favor of mostly original tunes,
Love Light proves their staying power and reinforces an outlook pointed toward the
future while honoring the context of their collective musical past

Born Lee Audrey Nelms in Houston's Fifth Ward, Trudy Lynn comes from a strong
musical stock. The late Al "TNT" Braggs, one of Houston's most electrifying R&B
vocalists and a prolific songwriter for Bobby "Blue" Bland, was her cousin. Growing
up, she and her five siblings would gather on their big screened-in porch to sing
in talent shows for the neighborhood kids. By high school, she took it to the next
level as a member of the choirs and jazz groups, even joining Archie Bell as one
of the Drells, back in '64 before they took off. It was Albert Collins who was
the first to get her on the stage while still in high school, at Walter's Lounge
on Lockwood. After singing 'A Change Is Gonna Come' and 'Money,' Lynn knew she
had found her calling. In 1965 after graduating from high school, Lee Audrey
went to Lufkin, Texas, north of Houston, for the summer. Her cousin took her out
to a white venue, the Cinderella Club, where she made sure the club owner knew
she could sing. When called upon to fill in for their regular singer, Lee Audrey
needed a stage name. It was there that she saw the name 'Trudy' amidst the other
writings on the wall and decided that's what she wanted to be called. Performers
Gloria Lynne and Barbara Lynn also inspired her new name.

International Touring Artist and multi-instrumentalist Anthony "Big A" Sherrod
personifies the authentic delta blues legacy that is still heard today in his
native Clarksdale, Mississippi. Introduced to music in the church, his father,
E.J. Johnson, was a gospel singer that performed with The Golden Stars. By the
age of 6, he began playing and hasn't stopped. As a student of the after-school
program at the Delta Blues Museum, Sherrod studied with Johnnie Billington. As
the godson of Big Jack Johnson, he learned all facets of his craft at the feet
of a master. He has held standing gigs at all of the iconic Clarksdale venues,
including Sarah's Kitchen, Red's Lounge and Ground Zero in addition to countless
other performances throughout the region and beyond. Sherrod wrote the title track
and appeared in the 2012 documentary, We Juke Up In Here, an inside look at what
little still remains of the juke joint culture of the south.
