Her long association with Eric’s touring and recording bands started in 1986 and continued for the next 13 years, the only exception being the blues tour and album of 1994-1995. In 1999, Katie sang back-up for Eric at the Crossroads Concert at Madison Square Garden. She rejoined Eric’s band in 2019 and was on stage at the Crossroads Guitar Festival in Dallas, Texas last September. She is currently planning her album, with her son Seb Stone, who will be producing and co-writing.

Citizen Cope – Clarence Greenwood, better known as Citizen Cope, is an American songwriter, producer and performer. His style has been described as “urban folk”. Cope’s compositions have been recorded by Carlos Santana, Dido, Pharoahe Monch, Sheryl Crow and Richie Havens. The Washington Post has hailed him as “DC’s finest export since Marvin Gaye,” while Rolling Stone raved that his “uncommon chords and harmonies combine delicate dissonance with unexpected flashes of beauty.”He currently records and produces for his own record label, Rainwater Recordings, which he founded in 2010. On March 1, 2019, he self-released his first album in six years, Heroin and Helicopters. Cope has been a guest at the 2010, 2013 and 2019 Crossroads Guitar Festivals.

Kenny Wayne Shepherd – The Louisiana native launched his recording career at 16 and in the 27 years since, has established himself as an immensely popular recording artist, a consistently in-demand live act and an influential force in a worldwide resurgence of interest in the blues. As a teen, he burst onto the music scene with the release of his 1995 debut album Ledbetter Heights, which produced the radio hits “Deja Voodoo,” “Born with a Broken Heart” and “Shame, Shame, Shame.” In 2013, Shepherd further expanded his musical horizons by teaming with veteran rockers Stephen Stills and Barry Goldberg to form The Rides, whose first album Can’t Get Enough helped to expand his audience further. Kenny’s 9th studio disc, The Traveler, arrived in 2019.
