An Exclusive Interview with Janiva Magness!
https://janivamagness.com/ https://www.facebook.com/JanivaMagness/?fref=ts Janiva Magness’ new album Love Wins Again is yet another evolutionary step for the soulful, elegant, award-winning singer-songwriter.

Jeff Jensen Live – “The River City Sessions”
I believe that Jeff Jensen, Bill Ruffino, and Robinson Bridgeforth are the most exciting group to hear or see live on the contemporary blues scene.
