Melissa, Robert and Stu

Here's some people that performed at the benefit that you need to know more about!

Melissa Bledsoe Fisher is probably the best keyboard player I know. An unreal jazz pianist, she's also one of the best roots-blues players around. Schooled in the old masters like Otis Spann as much as she is rooted in jazz, she's simply a monster. Click here to get to her homepage.



Another person you need to know about is Big Robert T, a great vocalist that moved from Anchorage to Atlanta. I've known Robert for a few years now, and it's great to see his career taking off. Learn more by clicking here. Here's a picture of Big Robert in action...



Here's a wide shot of the band, the guitar player on the left side of the photo is probably my favorite guitar player on the planet- Stu Schulman. He's an absolute genius, a master of a half-dozen instruments including the Pedal Steel, Guitar and Hammond Organ. He's one hell of an interesting character as well.



If you're lucky enough to see them perform, jump at that chance!
