Stefan Grossman

Stefan Grossman (born April 16, 1945) is an American guitarist, teacher and businessman. Born in Brooklyn, New York, he began playing guitar at the age of nine, turning to blues after hearing the music of Big Bill Broonzy and others at the age of 15. At this time, he began studying blues styles with the legendary Reverend Gary Davis who lived in the Bronx at the time. His music remains rooted in the blues but is not limited to it. However, his love of the blues and a desire to 'spread the word' lead him to produce a large number of tutorials including recordings, videos, CDs and DVDs.

Sadie Jemmett

Sadie Jemmett's extraordinary songs reflect a remarkable life. Behind the entrancing, eloquence of her lyrics and the subtle acoustic beauty of her music lies a restlessly seeking spirit and a rich but frequently dark experience. Her peripatetic journey has followed a jagged course from a wildly bohemian childhood through being a teenage runaway, a backing singer in a reggae band and a touring actress to her role today as one of the most magical new singer-songwriters to excite our ears in many years.
