DAN SINASAC: Dan Sinasac is a singer/songwriter with a passion for soulful, funky rhythm and blues. His passion is the Hammond B3 organ and he plays it with heart and soul.

You can hear it in his gritty vocals, the funky fingering of his bluesy keyboard work and his rootsy approach to songwriting. Dan’s band consists of Gerry Moellering (guitar); Cody Forsberg (drums); and Kim Lesaca (bass guitar).

While riding the freight train lines, Zander was caught by CP railroad officials. In an attempt to evade the railroad police, he wound up falling off a tank car, and onto the railroad track. Claiming four fingers but not his life. three years later, at age 23, he continues to play guitar despite the traumatic incident.

TROY TURNER BAND: Some artists do their best to interpret the blues. Blues singer and guitarist Troy Turner has lived them. This blues man is the real deal from the true home of the blues, southern Louisiana. His licks will knock your socks off. Troy was mentored by the best and it shows in his velvet voice and wicked guitar playing. He studied at Berklee in Chicago but his true teachers were his friends, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Edgar Winter, Buddy Guy, BB King, the Rafel family, his Uncle Ike Turner and many, many more greats. Troy’s band is Rich Stenson on bass, Greg Russell on drums and Bob Kitt on keys. They have been playing with Troy going on three years now. When he’s on stage playing, his head thrown back, eyes closed, it’s easy to see that Troy is the living embodiment of the blues.
