Five years
strong,
Paramount
Blues Festival
keeps rockin’
Dedicated to preserving the rich
tradition of American roots music,
the Paramount Blues Festival in
Grafton has showcased dozens
of artists, ranging from popular
local performers to internationally
acclaimed musicians. Thousands
of blues lovers have flocked to
the village’s Lime Kiln Park each
year since 2006 for weekend
celebrations featuring acoustic
and electric performances and
tributes to Grafton’s role in blues
history.
Are you ready for a blues weekend in Grafton?
Welcome to the fifth annual Paramount Blues Festival!
Well, we are back to September for this year’s event. Last year’s August
festival taught us a lesson: Don’t mess with a good thing. You will find us
on the third full weekend of September from now on.
It’s hard to believe we are celebrating five years! We have
come a long way in sharing Paramount history. This year we
will be added to the Mississippi Blues Trail with a marker
being placed in Grafton. Clarksdale, Memphis, Chicago ...
and now Grafton. What an honor!
We are working with the Village of Grafton and, at the
time of this writing, plan to unveil the marker at the festival.
While you’re in Grafton, be sure to visit the Paramount
Plaza and see the fountain and the Walk of Fame. It’s also a
great place to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee or food from one
of the local businesses.
Be sure to pick up a walking tour booklet in our
merchandise area and take the tour of Grafton.
I want to take a moment to thank the festival team — Peter, PK, Bradley,
Bev, Cheryl, Jamie, Jason and Jeff work all year to put this weekend
together, as well as all the other events we host. Without them, you would
not be reading this. When you see them, stop and tell them what a great
time you’re having.
Membership in the Grafton Blues Association is growing. We have great
supporters, including individuals, bands, venues and corporate members.
This year we also welcomed lifetime members. Want more information?
Visit the merchandise booth or e-mail us.
Did you know we host events and programs in addition to the festival? Our
Senior Blues program is very successful, and the Grafton Blues Challenge
will be sending the Alex Wilson Band to Memphis in February 2011. We will
also take a youth act, Sequoia & The Virgins.
New this year, we will host the Grafton Solo/Duo Blues
Challenge to determine who will represent us in that
competition in Memphis. The Solo/Duo Challenge will
take place Saturday, Oct. 16, at Circle B Recreation Center
in the Town of Cedarburg. It’s a great time, so join us!
By visiting our website — www.graftonblues.org — you
can join our e-mail list and stay informed.
We hope you enjoy the festival and changes we made this
year. We want to hear from you, so send us your thoughts,
compliments, suggestions and, yes, criticisms.
The festival is held for YOU, so we need to know what
you’d like to see, hear and eat.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Kris Raymond
President, Grafton Blues Association
The mission of the Grafton Blues Association is to encourage community
involvement by sponsoring and hosting events, including a diverse realm
of blues musicians, performers, entertainers, educators and historians. By
promoting the Blues in the Schools programs, we will nurture an appreciation
and understanding of blues music in general, its historical influence and
importance as a watershed of American popular music, and its relevance to
the history of Paramount recordings made in Grafton, Wis.

HENRY TOWNSEND MEMORIAL STAGE
A four-piece band that has
been together since October
2006, Maple Road performs
a mix of covers and original
tunes rooted in blues and
rock.
The group’s appealing
and diverse repertoire has
attracted a wide range of
music fans throughout the
Midwest. During the past
year, the band has performed
at numerous festivals, including Summerfest.
Band members include
Jenny Abbott, George Passint,
5:30 p.m. Friday
11:15 a.m. Saturday
Maple Road
Paramount Walk of Fame Inductions
Big Bill Broonzy
Randy Panas and Nick Casati.
Maple Road’s new CD, “Ain’t Lookin’ Back,” is scheduled
for release this summer.
6:45 p.m. Friday
October Soul goes beyond
blues. High energy by nature,
they showcase their own original work along with a set list
packed with country and rock.
Sometimes unplugged, their
acoustic work explodes with
just as much intensity.
Formed in October 2009,
the Soul’s all-star lineup consists of multi-award-winning
vocalist Jamie Brace, veteran
guitarist Joe Barborich, bassist
and vocalist Tony Bremer and
October Soul
percussionist/drummer Drew “Haystack” Humes. Joining the band
for their festival performance will be guitarist Jared James Nichols.
8:00 p.m. Friday
Aaron Williams & The Hoodoo
Aaron Williams is what some in the music business refer
to as a “career” artist — a dedicated, straight-talking guy
more interested in longevity than a hit single, in building a fan
base than winning an award.
Zigzagging the Midwest and South, doing it the only way
they know how, Aaron Williams & The Hoodoo spend 180
nights a year on the road. They headline most of those dates
but have also played supporting slots for the Black Keys,
Bernard Allison, Taj Mahal and many others, as well as festivals such as Summerfest and Bike Week in Daytona Beach.
“It Ain’t Easy,” their debut album, is a tour de force of
authenticity, covering blues, rock and roots. It’s music the
way it was meant to be played.
9:15 p.m. Friday
The Jimmys
The Jimmys are a powerhouse
eight-piece band influenced by
raw Chicago blues to second-line
New Orleans funk.
With touring experience
throughout the United States and
Europe, The Jimmys have received
international acclaim. Members of
the band have garnered recognition
ranging from Wisconsin’s top honors in blues to Grammy recognition to platinum records.
This is a group that’s guaranteed to make you shake a tail
feather!
Two more music legends — William “Big Bill” Broonzy
and Tommy Johnson — will join the Paramount Walk of Fame
in Grafton this weekend. Both artists recorded for Paramount
Records in the 1920s and ’30s and were chosen as the 2010
inductees by the village’s Historic Preservation Committee.
Broonzy was a prolific singer, songwriter and guitarist whose
folk-blues roots made him one of the most versatile musicians of
his time. Johnson was an influential Delta bluesman known for
his intricate guitar playing and falsetto voice.
The Walk of Fame was established in 2006 as a tribute to
Tommy Johnson
Paramount recording artists. The names of the inductees are
engraved in a keyboard-styled walkway in the downtown Paramount Plaza.
Noon Saturday
Joe Filisko & Eric Noden
Sponsored by Columbia St. Mary’s
Joe Filisko and Eric Noden’s first CD,
“Live,” featured versions of early blues and roots
songs by Sonny Terry, Daddy Stovepipe, Fred
McDowell and Gwen Foster. The CD’s success
led to several European tours as well as festival
and workshop appearances throughout the United
States.
The duo’s new release, “I.C. Special,” continues to draw on American music from the 1920s
and ’30s. All 15 tunes on the CD were written by
either Joe or Eric, and each represents a different
branch of American roots music.
This new work brings them into a realm that
embraces their influences while blending them
together in unique ways.
3:30 p.m. Saturday
Grana´ Louise
6:45 p.m. Saturday
Lil’ Ed & The Blues Imperials
Sponsored by D&G Transportation
Any doubt about the lasting impact
Grana´ Louise has on music lovers was
dashed once and for all last November when
the passionate singer and her band The
Troublemakers received top honors at the
Chicago Blues Challenge.
A fixture on the city’s blues scene, Grana´
has established herself as an international
force to be reckoned with. Her musical style
has been described as a blend of Koko
Taylor, Etta James, Denise LaSalle, Billie
Holiday, Ruth Brown and Bessie Smith —
with a dash of Tina Turner.
Her CD “Generations” received wide
acclaim as a showcase for her interpretation
of root blues, jazz and R&B. The album
included her original song “City Slicker
Bill,” which was featured on the soundtrack
of the motion picture “Justice.”
Whether belting out the blues or performing opera, Grana´ inspires audiences. Her
deep, emotive delivery propels the kind of
music that transports listeners to a soulful
world not soon forgotten.
Although small in stature,
Lil’ Ed Williams is a true
giant of the blues and among
the last authentic West Side
Chicago bluesmen.
Lil’ Ed boasts a direct
bloodline to blues history.
His uncle and musical mentor
was the great Chicago slide
guitarist and recording artist
J.B. Hutto.
On Lil Ed & The Blue
Imperials’ new Alligator
album, “Rattleshake,” the
band produces a modern
blues firestorm steeped in
tradition. It’s a collaboration highlighted by Lil’ Ed’s
romping, sizzling guitar and
his rough-hewn vocals, his
half-brother James “Pookie”
Young’s thumping bass, Mike
Garrett’s feral rhythm guitar
and Kelly Littleton’s unpre-
1:00 p.m. Saturday
Leroy Airmaster with guests Greg Koch & Jim Liban
A fixture on the Milwaukee blues scene
throughout the 1970s and ’80s, Leroy
Airmaster disbanded in 1990 when band
members pursued other interests. However,
the group is back together again — older,
wiser and more dedicated than ever to the
pursuit of musical excellence.
With a repertoire that includes hundreds
of classic blues and rock tunes as well as
original numbers, the band features Steve
Cohen (harmonica), Bill Stone (guitar),
Dave Kasik (bass) and Vodie Rhinehart
(drums). Joining the four for their festival
compatriots, guitarist Greg Koch and harmonicist Jim
show will be two of their longtime musical Liban.
2:15 p.m. Saturday
Robert Allen & The Zoot Suits with Cadillac Pete
Robert Allen Jr. and the Zoot Suits — formerly known as the Zoot Suit Boogie Band
— is a three-time WAMI nominee and winner of the 2001 award as Best Blues Artist.
The Zoot Suits’ music features smooth
vocal harmonies, fluid guitar solos, strolling
and rolling bass lines and tempos in a perfect
rhythmic pocket. The result is good-time,
high-energy jump blues. One critic called it
blues-a-billy boogie.
Fronted by singer/guitarist Robert Allen
Jr., the band puts on a dazzling show that is
going to get you boogieing all night long.
From 1930s and ’40s jump blues to ’50s
rock ’n’ roll, churned with snaky Chicago
blues and even modern pop dance grooves,
the Zoot Suits lay down a special blend of
bluesy swing boogie that never lets you go.
“Blues guitar heroes are like a major
hurricane that blows down everything in
their path, changing the musical landscape
as surely as category 5 tropical storms
alter the terra firma. Since Stevie Ray
Vaughan perished tragically in 1990, however, the winds of change have been brief
squalls at best. Until now. If anyone has a
legitimate shot at filling the blues guitar
hero void, it is Dennis Jones.”
— Dave Rubin, 2005 “Keeping the
Blues Alive” award winner in journalism
Born in Baltimore and now residing in
Los Angeles, Dennis Jones first started on
the drums, then switched to guitar at the
age of 13. A serious blues rocker, his
music is influenced by B.B., Albert and
Freddie King, as well as the Rolling
Stones, Johnny Winter, Dylan, Santana,
James Brown and many other artists.
After “Pleasure & Pain,” Jones’ 2009
CD release, received considerable airplay
and critical acclaim around the globe, he
quickly began his next mission — to
expand his touring base outside the West
Coast.
A member of the Zac Harmon-led
group named Best Unsigned Band at the
International Blues Challenge, Jones
knows the way to stardom and is wasting
no time getting there.
This is the first appearance of the Dennis Jones
Band at the Paramount Blues Festival.
dictable yet bone-crunching drumming.
The Washington Post described Williams’ music as “contagious
wildness.” The Philadelphia Inquirer expressed it as “raucous and
hugely entertaining.”
No matter how you describe it, Lil’ Ed’s seriously inspired music will take you on a fast trip from your chair to your feet.

Zac Harmon is a
Paramount Blues Festival
favorite.
A serious musician with
more than 20 years as a composer, producer and performer, he first came to the blues
world’s attention by capturing the 2004 International
Blues Challenge’s prestigious Best Unsigned Band
award. The next year, Zac
was named Best New Blues
Artist in the XM (Satellite
Radio) Nation Awards.
In 2006, Blues Revue
named him “One of 10 to
Watch” and he won the
Blues Music Award for Best
New Artist Debut for his
sophomore release, “The
Blues According to
Zacariah.”
In the past year, Zac’s
third CD, “From the Root,”
was released, the Jus’ Blues
Foundation bestowed the
Little Milton Award upon
him for Outstanding Guitar
Player and he was recognized for lifetime achieve-
Zac Harmon
ment in the music industry with a Jackson Music Award in his hometown of Jackson, Miss.
More awards and recognition are sure to follow, but for Zac
Harmon, there is no greater reward than taking to the stage and
entertaining audiences worldwide. He and his band perform each
time like it’s their last and are returning to Grafton for the fourth
consecutive year, this time as a headliner.
When asked about coming back this year, Zac responded, “The
people from Grafton have been real good and very loyal to us, and
we sincerely appreciate it. Please be there on Sept. 18 so we can
thank you properly!”

2011 PARAMOUNT BLUES FESTIVAL
SEPTEMBER 16 & 17
Welcome to Grafton, where Paramount rocked the blues cradle
From 1929 to 1932, Grafton’s Paramount Records studio was located in the Wisconsin Chair Co. factory, two blocks north of the festival grounds. Legendary blues artists
such as Skip James, Charley Patton, Son House, Blind Blake, Big Bill Broonzy, Tommy
Johnson and Henry Townsend recorded here.
As the lasting living blues musician to record in Grafton, the 96-year-old Townsend
returned to the village in 2006 for the first time in more than 70 years to perform at the
inaugural Paramount Blues Festival.
He died tragically before appearing at the event and was posthumously inducted the
same weekend into the downtown Paramount Walk of Fame, which honors artists whose
legacies have become enduring parts of the community’s musical heritage. The festival
stage is named in Townsend’s memory.
A Mississippi Blues Trail marker will soon be placed in Grafton to commemorate
the community’s role in American music history. The marker, which is expected to be
unveiled at this year’s festival, will underscore the link between the Delta roots of blues
artists and the Paramount Records plant where their music was preserved for future
generations.
Festival offers special events for young blues fans
