    B L U E I N K APRIL 2016 Gator By the Bay Brings Musicians Together in Exciting Pairings Now in its 15th year, Gator By the Bay, May 5-8, 2016, has become a wildly popular San Diego festival tradition known for presenting an eclectic mix of musical styles and a fun- filled atmosphere. Wander among the festival’s seven stages and you can listen to everything from authentic Louisiana Cajun and Zydeco music to Chicago and West Coast Blues, from Latin to Rockabilly and Swing. In recent years, Gator By the Bay has also earned a stand-out reputation for bringing together stellar combinations of musicians in innovative mash-up performances, presenting musical groupings you won’t hear anywhere else. This year is no exception. On Saturday, May 7, San Diego’s own multiple gold guitarist Johnny Vernazza will share the Mardi Gras Stage with blues greats Roy Rogers and John Németh. Often lauded as the “Master of the Slide Guitar”, Roy Rogers’ distinctive style is instantly recognizable. He’s shared duets with such greats as John Lee Hooker and Allen Toussaint, and teamed up with the likes of Norton Buffalo and Ray Manzarek. Harmonica virtuoso, vocalist and songwriter John Németh has multiple Blues Music Awards nominations to his name, and his album, ‘Memphis Grease’, won Best Soul Blues Album at the 2015 Blues Music Awards. He has been nominated for the Blues Music Awards 2016 B.B. King Entertainer of the Year Award, to be given out on May 5. Other notable combined artists’ performances include Sugaray Rayford, Alabama Mike & the Drop Ins with harmonica master Rick Estrin and harmonica and guitar whiz-kid Jon Atkinson on Friday evening, May 6, and Jon Atkinson with Rick Estrin and Fabulous Thunderbird alumna Kim Wilson on Saturday, May 7.

    Big Boy Little Band “Wolf” Crescenze FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tel: (301) 932-2734 Email: [email protected] BIG BOY LITTLE BAND FINALIST AT THE INT’L BLUES CHALLENGE Matt Kelley Wins Albert King Award for Top Guitarist January 26, 2010. Washington, DC. The Big Boy Little Band made it to the finals of the 26th Annual International Blues Challenge sponsored by the Blues Foundation in the “Capital of the Blues,” Memphis, TN on January 21-23, 2010. After two nights of competition with over one-hundred bands from 39 states and 14 countries, they ultimately reached the top eleven in a blazing finale held Saturday night, January 23rd, in the historic Orpheum Theater on famous Beale Street. Billed as “The World’s Largest Gathering of Blues Bands,” these bands vied for the top honor, industry recognition and prizes including cash, appearances at major blues festivals and coveted spots on the “Legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise.” The contest has helped launch the careers of nationally known blues artists such as Susan Tedeschi, Tommy Castro, Watermelon Slim, Zac Harmon and the late Sean Costello. Big Boy’s young guitarist, 26 year-old Matt Kelley, won the coveted Albert King Guitar award for the top guitarist after a sizzling solo on the band's version of BB King's "How Blue Can You Get". "I was shocked.” Kelley said afterwards. “I have never in my life seen so many good bands in one place. That I won the same Albert King Award that guys like Sean Carney won seems unreal.” "To be in the top eleven of blues bands from all over the world is something I never expected," says Big Boy Little.
