PERFORMERS
DANIEL CASTRO (guitarist/vocalist)
“Daniel Castro is the latest and one of the greatest blues guitarists to come bursting out of the highly competitive West Coast scene. To the classic music of B.B. King, Albert King, and Albert Collins he has added the three T’s: taste, tone, and technique. His raw passion warms your soul while his deep groove kicks your butt on fine, fresh originals and well chosen covers.” --Dave Rubin, Guitar Player Magazine
Website: http://www.danielcastro.com/home.html
TERRIE ODABI (vocalist/songwriter)
"Terrie Odabi is easily the most dynamic blues and soul woman to have emerged in the Bay Area since Etta James came out of San Francisco’s Fillmore District in the Fifties. Terrie has a powerful set of pipes, writes terrific tunes, leads a kicking band, and has onstage movements that perfectly match the rhythms of her material. Surely stardom awaits her."–Lee Hildebrand, contributor to the San Francisco Chronicle, East Bay Express, and Living Blues
Website: http://artistecard.com/Terrie
TIA CARROL (vocalist/songwriter)
“A powerful singer with brassy, full-throated delivery, Carroll is no youngster, but in the past few years she’s quickly gained recognition as one of the most exciting new voices on the scene.” -- Andrew Gilbert, San Jose Mercury News
Website: http://www.tiacarroll.com/
AKI KUMAR (songwriter/vocalist/harmonica player)
"A superb harmonica player with a muscular vocal style... blessed with a mesmerizing command of vintage Chicago blues .... one of the finest Chi-Town blues albums it has been my pleasure to hear in a while ....Kumar is a real talent and if you love Chicago blues then this is a set you can't ignore."-- Mick Rainsford, Blues in Britain Magazine, Dec 2014

“The Art of Sound: A Conversation with Producer Christoffer ‘Kid’ Andersen”: http://thehub.musiciansfriend.com/art-of-sound/the-art-of-sound-a-conversation-with-producer-christoffer-kid-andersen
THE LUCKY LOSERS Cathy Lemons & Phil Berkowitz (songwriters/vocalists/ harmonica player)
“ A throwback to the hybrid of soul, blues, rock, gospel, and country that emerged in the late 1960’s … impassioned vocals …electrifying interplay… powerful harmonica… dramatic, heavy blues rock…. such a compelling listen… haunting soulful….Roots music listeners who take a chance on the Lucky losers will surely hit the jackpot.”--Robert H. Cataliotti, Oct/Nov 2016, Living Blues, Issue 245

AC MYLES (guitarist/vocalist)

WENDY DEWITT/KIRK HARWOOD (pianist/vocalist/drummer)
“All the cool kids already know DeWitt is one smoking boogie woogie piano/organ gal and it's time for the word to spread beyond her regional awards. Not museum piece boogie, DeWitt and her posse turn up the heat, let smoke and sizzle fly freely and serve up a soul awakening good time. Hot times for the old town tonight are delivered here, hot and fresh.”—Chris Spector, Midwest Record

Freedom House is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a mission to bring hope, restoration, and a new life to adult female survivors of human trafficking by providing up to 18 months of shelter and long-term aftercare. The agency oversees a safe house for women, The Monarch, based in San Mateo County
Human sex trafficking is the fastest-growing organized crime and the third-largest criminal enterprise in the world. This form of cruel modern-day slavery occurs more often than many people might think. And, it is not just an international or a national problem—it also is a local one. It is big business, and it involves a lot of perpetrators and victims.
An estimated 26% of modern day slaves are children, and 22% of modern slaves are in the Sex Industry.
Human trafficking is a $32 Billion a year industry.
