About Me |

| Update: Jessie White passed away on Tuesday, January 29th, 2008. He was at Providence Hospital being treated for pneumonia when he suffered a massive heart attack.Award-winning Uncle Jessie White is still delivering his deep-delta blues style as only he knows how. Born in Terry Mississippi in 1920, he picked cotton as a child in the fields with his parents and siblings. He moved to Detroit in 1950 and worked hard as a junkman. During the 70's, he had legendary weekend parties where all the blues musicians would party and jam, including John Lee Hooker. Still the hardest working blues musician in town, he sings, blows harp and pounds piano unlike any other.Jeff Grand on electric and slide guitar, has played with The Howling Diablos, Uncle Kracker, The Butler Twins and has his own cd titled "Therapy" on No Cover Productions.Duke Dawson has been playing drums around the Motor City for ages also. He has played with The Butler Twins, Odell Blues Boy "D", Jeff Hoagland and numerous others.Betty Brownlee on bass has recently moved back to Detroit and has played in bands with Nathaniel Mayer and The Shanks, Gino Washington, Eddie Kirkland, Johnny Yarddog Jones, Kenny Parker, The Butler Twins and various others. Her rockabilly credits include Wanda Jackson, Dale Hawkins, Charlie Gracie and Nobody's Business.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 | |
