Charlie Musselwhite

Musselwhite was born in the rural hill country of Mississippi. He has said that he is of Choctaw descent, and he was born in a region originally inhabited by the Choctaw. However, in a 2005 interview, he said his mother had told him he was actually Cherokee. His family considered it normal to play music, with his father playing guitar and harmonica, his mother playing piano, and a relative who was a one-man band. At the age of three, Musselwhite moved to Memphis, Tennessee.

Judy Shire

Judy’s unusually quick rise into the International Music Scene is almost as rare as her unique vocals and 5 octave range. Equally rare is the fact that in her career to date Judy Shire has performed at many venues that you would normally only expect to find a major celebrity. Judy is an English vocalist who originally had no intention of pursuing a music career as a singer, having devoted her early years to bringing up her daughter, Judy’s singing was a hobby restricted to singing in a musical troop called The Abbey Minstrels and singing songs from The Musicals and Theatre at charity events.
