Brandon Santini

There are many different opinions as to what the future of blues harmonica will be. Memphis based Brandon Santini is undeniably a worthy player to keep an eye on as the next decade unfolds. His name is worthy of conversations that involve Jason Ricci, Billy Gibson, Dennis Gruenling, Rick Estrin and other frontline harmonica players that have become part of a new wave in the blues world. With tasteful speed and licks, he combines his respect to traditional blues with a present colorful style of playing. Raised in North Carolina, Brandon relocated to Memphis in 2003 where he began to absorb the sounds and culture of the Delta, honing his craft night after night, sweating it out in local Beale Street clubs just like Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, & B.B. King. 

For seven years, Brandon fronted the Blues Music Award nominated band Delta Highway and has toured relentlessly throughout North America and has visited seven foreign countries (including a 2009 Bluzapalooza tour to Cairo, Egypt) bringing his distinct voice and playing style to music lovers everywhere throughout the world!

Jeff Jensen first picked up a guitar at the early age of ten years old.  He formed his own blues band in 2004 and toured the West Coast extensively until 2009.  The Jeff Jensen Band’s self titled debut album hit the Living Blues Charts in 2007 with great success. He represented the Santa Clarita Blues Society in the 2005 and 2007 International Blues Competition as well as representing the Pinetop Perkins Blues Society in 2006.  Now living in Memphis TN, Jeff is a full time member of Brandon Santini & His Band. 

With a playing style that comes straight from the old school, Slim Louis adds solid low end citing influences such as Willie Dixon, Calvin "Fuzz" Jones, and Donald "Duck" Dunn as being integral in shaping his approach to the bass. Slim's career began in the early 1960's and he became part of an unforgettable musical era playing in various rock, blues, and soul show bands in Wisconsin. Having seen live shows by Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, and other blues legends, he learned by watching and immersing himself in the blues. Slim has been a touring member with acts like Bryan Lee & The Blues Power Band, Jason Ricci & New Blood, and Delta Highway.

Don't be fooled by his small scaled down kit, Chad powers the band with his sharp fills and heavy back beats. Over the past several years he has played some of Wisconsin's best blues clubs and festivals. He has worked with and shared the stage with many blues greats such as Billy Flynn, Dave Specter, Madison Slim, Reverend Raven, Cadillac Pete, and Charles "Delta Hog" Hayes. and has opened for national acts such as Shemekia Copeland, W.C. Clark, Johnnie Johnson, Rod Piazza, and Kenny Neal.
