Lucky Peterson (born Judge Kenneth Peterson, December 13, 1964, Buffalo, New York) is an American musician who plays contemporary blues, fusing soul, R&B, gospel and rock and roll. He plays guitar and keyboards. Music journalist Tony Russell, in his book The Blues - From Robert Johnson to Robert Cray has said, "he may be the only blues musician to have had national television exposure in short pants."

Peterson's father, bluesman James Peterson, owned a nightclub in Buffalo called The Governor's Inn. The club was a regular stop for fellow bluesmen such as Willie Dixon. Dixon saw a five-year-old Lucky Peterson performing at the club and, in Peterson's words, "Took me under his wing." Months later, Peterson performed on The Tonight Show, The Ed Sullivan Show and What's My Line?. Millions of people watched Peterson sing "1-2-3-4", a cover version of "Please, Please, Please" by James Brown. At the time, Peterson said "his father wrote it". Around this time he recorded his first album, Our Future: 5 Year Old Lucky Peterson for Today/Perception Records and appeared on the public television show Soul!.

Paddy Milner (born 20 March 1980, Edinburgh, Scotland) is a Scottish singer-songwriter.

After living for a short while in Scotland, Milner spent most of his youth in Dorset, England. It was here that he was exposed to music from an early age and learnt to play the piano. Initially studying classically, it was the blues and boogie-woogie that captured his imagination and this provided the base for his musical development through jazz and back to classical music. Whilst still at college, Milner began working with British bluesman Todd Sharpville. He was 19 years old when he recorded on Sharpville's "Meaning Of Life" album alongside special guests Mick Taylor, Leo Sayer, & Snowy White. This led to subsequent tours as part of Sharpville's band across the European continent & in the USA.

In the year following his graduation from Kings College with a music degree, Milner was introduced to Gerry Bron, signed a recording contract with Bronze Records and recorded, Walking On Eggshells. This, his second album, was recorded mainly at Gallery Studios with encouragement from the studio's owner and Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera. Taken from the album, the first single was "Unsquare Dance". The video to the single, "You Think You're So Damn Funny" gained coverage on French and German television, helping to propel the album to the number one Bestselling Jazz/Blues album in France in May 2005. As well as Milner's songs and arrangements, the album featured five songs co-written with Pete Brown.

Big Joe Turner (born Joseph Vernon Turner Jr., May 18, 1911 – November 24, 1985) was an American blues shouter from Kansas City, Missouri. According to the songwriter Doc Pomus, "Rock and roll would have never happened without him." Although he came to his greatest fame in the 1950s with his pioneering rock and roll recordings, particularly "Shake, Rattle and Roll", Turner's career as a performer stretched from the 1920s into the 1980s. Turner was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987.

Known variously as The Boss of the Blues, and Big Joe Turner (due to his 6'2", 300+ lbs stature), Turner was born in Kansas City and first discovered his love of music through involvement in the church. Turner's father was killed in a train accident when Joe was only four years old. He began singing on street corners for money, leaving school at age fourteen to begin working in Kansas City's nightclub scene, first as a cook, and later as a singing bartender. He eventually became known as The Singing Barman, and worked in such venues as The Kingfish Club and The Sunset, where he and his piano playing partner Pete Johnson became resident performers. The Sunset was managed by Piney Brown. It featured "separate but equal" facilities for white patrons. Turner wrote "Piney Brown Blues" in his honor and sang it throughout his entire career.
