1 9th SHETLAND BLUES FESTIVAL Friday 14 September to Sunday 16 September 2012

2 Jon Amor Blues Group UK vocalist and guitarist Jon Amor, formerly of award-winning British band The Hoax, has joined forces with long-time collaborators Dave Doherty, Chris Doherty and Si Small. Drawing inspiration from the Blues greats of the past like Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf, as well as more contemporary acts like Black Keys and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, the group s sound is powerful, raw and uncompromising. Anglo-Norwegian Krissy Matthews was born on 25th May 1992, was given his first electric guitar at age eight and in August 2004 at the ripe old age of fourteen was to be seen sitting in with John Mayall and the BluesBreakers at the Notodden Blues Festival held in Norway. Since then he has released four critically acclaimed albums and toured extensively in the UK and Europe. Babajack Krissy Matthews Band BABAJACK is an acoustic blues/roots/fusion band from Malvern. But don t be fooled by acoustic - these guys rock! Their groove, rhythm and percussive upbeat sound is addictive. They always give 100%+ with passion, energy and dedication. But above all, it is the quality of delivery that has to be experienced! Jed Potts and the Hillman Hunters Formed in 2008, Jed Potts & the Hillman Hunters have cultivated a stage performance which is exciting and spontaneous. Drawing from the rich well of classic 50 s and 60 s American blues the trio stay true to the traditions of the music whilst also taking risks. Whether laying back into a Freddie King ballad or digging-in to a hypnotic Muddy Waters groove, the band transmits power in ways other than speed and volume.

3 Tim Lothar Six years ago Tim Lothar started playing acoustic guitar. Since then he has released three albums that have recieved rave reviews world wide. He was also handed two of the major Danish blues awards (Danish Blues Artist of the Year 2008 and Best Danish Blues Album, Danish Music Awards 2009) and has toured thirteen countries so far. Lincoln Durham Lincoln Durham simply owns the stage! Equipped with old, makeshift 1950s amps, resonators, fiddles, harmonicas, tin can microphones, slides, stomp boards and you name it, Lincoln gives birth to a sound that transcends genres. He has taken the roots of the blues and bluegrass and has carried them to a new place. Intelligent lyrics, strong musicianship, a seriously infectious vocal style that slays. His guitar work is like a locomotive pumping and driving the runaway train that is Lincoln Durham and his music. This is not to imply that any of it is in any way out of control. On the contrary, he never stops driving that train. Papa Mojo Papa Mojo are four guys with a lifelong love for and a dedication to down home blues which shows through in every performance. Papa Mojo are probably the oldest still gigging blues band in Scotland with a musiclal partnership going back to Playing a mix of roots, Delta nd Hill Country Blues combined with dry Scots humour Papa Mojo never fail to captivate audiences. Local Acts No Sweat, Mackie and friends, Sore Finger, Muddy Bay and the Deep Sea Rollers, Bluemelt and the Orange Whips and others!!
