Lil' Ed Williams, although small in stature, is a true giant of
the blues, and among the very last authentic West Side
Chicago bluesman. From smoking slide guitar boogies to
raw-boned Chicago shuffles to the deepest slow blues, Lil'
Ed Williams is a master bluesman. A gifted guitarist and a
remarkably gritty and soulful vocalist, Williams, along with
his blistering, road-tested band, The Blues Imperials, has
been tearing up clubs and festival stages all over the world
for almost 25 years. The Boston Globe called Lil' Ed & the
Blues Imperials "the Worlds #1 houserocking band". Once
again they have been nominated for the Blues Band of the
Year by the Blues Foundation.

| Mr. Fletcher's One Man Blues Band with special guest Scott McCullough playing harp |
The "One Man Blues Band" is a unique show, in which "Mr. Fletcher"
follows his call to preach those blues. He lays down guitar lines that
will sing like the angels, laugh like a child, cry like a beautiful woman,
and then breathe fire, howl and growl like a hell hound. Keith Fletcher
is "Mr. Fletcher's One Man Blues Band," and the band's singer, slide
and guitar slinger. He plays a fair harp too. His show is a creative
blend of authentic blues tradition and the modern world, and he brings
you a truly unique blues experience. Mr. Fletcher is returning for his
fourth year to perform at the Bear Creek Blues Festival, and while Mr.
Fletcher delivers a show all his own, he also contributes in a special
niche by keeping the music live throughout the day. In 2008 Mr.
Fletcher also brings a special guest. Scott McCullough, a harp player,
who not so much plays his instrument but channels his soul through it.
