    John Robb

    Local singer/songwriter/ actor general talent about town performs at the rite spot. You might recognize him as the shifty porn dealer in 8mm or an episode of Nashville Bridges. John Robb played in R.G. Davis' famously rowdy San Francisco Mime Troupe during the'60s, when the group was bringing political commedia dell'arte illegally to the city's streets and public parks -- without permits. He's been around for a long time and this time, he's singing the blues.

The band relocated to Los Angeles where they were immediately noticed by the musical press.

The Tel Rays played dates throughout the western United States receiving wide-spread acclaim. In the mid 1980's Jinx formed Jinx Jones and Friends, which became the most popular attraction in the Denver area through the end of the decade. http://www.myspace. com/jinxjones

    Miss Henry

    The power of singing started early for Miss Henry Wig, who was Born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa to a Father from Bolivia, and mother of French, Swedish, German ancestors. She originally sang in church gospel then later sang as a punker in teens, influenced by Black Flag to Psychic TV and Cocteau Twins to Billie Holliday in youth. She moved in her teens to Europe- originally to play with a punk Greek Bassist named Johnny Trobatos in Athens. Later, Miss Henry Wig sang Billie Holliday in the streets of Amsterdam until she met a Blues guitarist Peter Laval and sang the Blues of Big Mama Thorton and Elmore James. She then went to south of France and started focusing on jazz standards with Phil Jones. From Nice, she moved to Switzerland and started singing with Charlie Hunter in a band called the Trout or the Trout Family or various things with the Trout involved. Then back to Amsterdam, where she sang with arrangements by Calder Spanier and Gerco Arts---Aretha Franklin, Earth, Wind and Fire and Stevie Wonder songs among jazz standards at her gigs as well as house music to country to whatever in Europe for 9 years ...mostly jazz.
