Westside Joe and the Men of Soul
(Joe Schicke, Taylor Tester, Steve Amedee)
West Side Joe and the Men of Soul. Joe Schicke began playing the blues at a young age. Raised in Memphis, he refined his performing, recording, arranging, and songwriting skills through collaborations with many different artists. A few years after moving to Colorado in 2007, Joe began working with Steve Amedee, originally from just outside New Orleans, LA, and Taylor Tesler, originally from Rochester, NY. The band's been inspiring local Colorado audiences ever since with big rhythms, fat guitar licks, and singin' you can dig your heart into. To play the blues takes soul, and these men got it.
Solo / Duo: Jeffrey Marshall
Jeffrey Marshall, who was born with a severe disability, has no arms and is confined to a wheelchair, is breathing life into the music industry one fan at a time. He plays harmonica, and guitar with his feet, while belting out his feelings vocally, sharing his musical emotion. His musical journey began as a teenager in Nashville and has taken him around the world where he has performed in nearly a dozen countries. Jeffrey‘s only desire in life is to share his talent with anyone willing to listen and experience his life through his art. His music is raw, infectious and genuine to its core.
Youth Showcase: Alfonzo and Friends
(Alfred Dworak, Aidan Debie, Aidan Roberts, Charlie Chilson)
Well beyond his years and hailed as a “real bluesman” Alfonzo brings music that transcends boundaries while taking you on an emotional ride from the Delta to Chicago and then into unexplored territory. As a performer, songwriter, producer and multi instrumentalist from Colorado, Alfonzo with his soul, blues and funk collective provides the stories of a thousand different cities. For the 2020 IBC Alfonzo will be backed by bassist, Charlie Chilson, guitarist, Aidan Roberts and drummer Aidan Debie. Together they put on a fully immersive stage performance that leaves the audience begging for more!
