SMOKIN' JOE KUBEK & BNOIS KING “Raucous, high-energy Texas roadhouse blues-rock. Blistering guitar solos, irresistible shuffles and subtle ballads."—Living Blues

The red-hot rockin' Texas blues band Smokin' Joe Kubek and Bnois King will perform at the Riverfront Blues Festival in Wilmington on Friday, August 5, 2011. Kubek and King will be performing songs from their latest Alligator release, Have Blues, Will Travel. Kubek's raucous roadhouse fretwork is expertly complimented by the equally fiery guitar and soulful vocals of Bnois King. Together, the two create a one-two punch of raw, tough, Lone Star blues-rock.

JAMES COTTON “Among the greats of all time...He blazes on harp with brilliant virtuosity."—Rolling Stone

Grammy Award-winning harmonica master James “Mr. Superharp" Cotton and his band will give a live performance at the Riverfront Blues Festival in Wilmington on Friday, August 5, 2011. Cotton's latest CD, the Grammy-nominated Giant, is his long-awaited return to Alligator Records. Cotton, who in 2011 is celebrating his 67th year as a professional musician (starting at the age of nine), has recorded almost 30 solo albums, including two highly-regarded releases for Alligator in the 1980s and the famed Harp Attack! with Junior Wells, Carey Bell and Billy Branch in 1990.
