Earl Thomas, Bad Influence Band Lisa Biales & Gina Sicilia
From being the first African-American baby born in the Bledsoe County Hospital in Pikesville, TN to traveling the world with his military dad, to almost dying in an accident where he fell off a cliff, the history of Earl Thomas is found in his music and in his words.
With the release of his 12 album, Catch Me If You Can, Earl continues to preach The Blues and insists it be done the right way. He recently held a Raise The Roof fundraiser that was video-cast across the internet and is talking about doing more of them around the country.
We will talk to Earl about his life and his desire to help Raise The Roof.
The Bad Influence Band is Michael Tash, Roger Edsel, Bob Mallardi and David Thaler and they have been playing the Blues since 1998. They have been honored with numerous Wammie Award nominations and are up for three more this year.
Their latest, Under The Influence was a finalist in the International Blues Challenge for Best Self-Produced Recording, nominated by the Washignton Area Music Association for Best Blues Recording of 2012 and was a Pick To Click on BB King’s Bluesville. The band will join me to discuss their lives, how they all came together and where they are headed.
TWO “Couch Kids” return with new music this evening.
Lisa Biales’ latest release is entitled Singing In My Soul and Gina Sicilia’s new album is It Wasn’t Real and I will discuss the albums with the ladies.
First Monday of the month also means a visit from Chefjimi with his Blues411 Report!

Hitman Blues Band, Rickey Godfrey, Annie Mack & Blues411
Russell "Hitman" Alexander formed the Hitman Blues Band in 1986 and has toured the world with his collection of top-flight musicians.
Their 2008 release, Pale Rider was nominated for 4 Grammy Awards. Now, the band has released its 5th album, Blues Enough and I will sit with Russell to discuss the band's history and what he sees for the future.
Rickey Godfrey came to my attention at this year's IBCs and I knew I had to speak with this gentleman and let him tell his story.
Rickey plays both guitar and piano while singing his heart out on stage. His music is a mix of blues and R&B with some rock to even it all out.
I will chat with Rickey about his career while we listen to music from his latest, Nasty Man.
Annie Mack made it to the IBC in 2012 from her home in Minnesota and she caused many a head to turn with her gritty blues vocals.
She has new music out, Fool To Believe and has begun her journey to try and make it back to Memphis for the next IBC. I will chat with Annie about her life, her beliefs and her music.
The first Monday of the month means Chefjimi Patricola will bring the Blues411 Report to The Couch and I am sure we will be discussing the big RAISE THE ROOF benefit he hosted on March 24th with Earl Thomas.
