A rare combination. A powerful experience. Be there. “A deeply satisfying journey that feels both rooted in tradition and daring enough to stretch beyond it.” — Colin Campbell, Blues Matters Magazine “a sound that’s as fresh as it is timeless” Indie Music Discovery “a party of resilience, spirit, and soulful rebellion” Zillions Magazine. When the "Retro-Modern" blues of Lil ’Red & The Rooster meets the heavyweight mastery of Bobby Floyd and Reggie Jackson, the result is more than a concert—it is a transcontinental soulful alignment. This quartet brings together four distinct musical lives to inhabit a realm where genre boundaries dissolve into pure, improvisational beauty. The lineup is a powerhouse of international talent. Fronted by Lil’ Red (Jennifer Milligan) floating on the groove with a contagious smile—an International Blues Challenge Finalist celebrated for her sweet, sassy and smoky vocals — delivers messages of freedom and self-empowerment with a kiss and a bite. She weaves truth-telling, rhythm guitar and washboard into an experience as infectious as it is soulful. Award-winning French Blues guitarist Pascal Fouquet bends time with brilliant taste on electric and baritone guitars, while the legendary Grammy Nominated, Emmy winning Bobby Floyd (Ray Charles, Dr. John, Count Basie Orchestra) on the Hammond B3, lifts the room with grace and power, soaring on solos that bridge the gap between gospel fire and jazz sophistication. Anchoring this world-class dialogue is Reggie Jackson (Diane Schuur, The Tonight Show). One of the most respected drummers in the industry, Jackson provides a masterclass in pocket and authority, creating a high-tension groove that feels both dangerous and perfectly placed. This quartet doesn't just play the blues; they reshape it into a "healing, soul-trembling" experience that blurs the lines between Blues, Soul and Jazz with improvisational mastery. It is a fast ride into the heart that will leave you feeling good long after the final note.
