"King" Yellowman as he is known, is one of the most popular reggae artists to have come from Jamaica. His early-'80s success brought the popularity of toasting - the reggae equivalent of rapping - to a whole new level, and helped establish dancehall as the wave of the future. Yellowman was one of the most verbally nimble toasters of his time, with a loose, easy flow, a talent for improvisation, and a definite wit in his wordplay.

Greg Brown's prolific and seasoned songwriting is based on an unusual combination of wanderlust and down-home roots, penetrated by blues, jazz, calypso and rock. Iowa born and raised, Robert Franklin 'Bo' Ramsey not only played a vital role in shaping Eastern Iowa's distinctive blues-rock hybrid, but has continued in his still-vibrant career as a performer, in-demand producer, recording session guitarist and "hired gun" in touring bands of high-profile national acts, including Greg Brown and Lucinda Williams.
