Vance Kelly
 
While not a big man, this South Side blues ambassador looms large in the Chicago blues scene, performing regularly at Rosa's Lounge and The Firken, popularizing the south side sound to a mainstream audience. Recipient of a 1995 Living Blues Award, Kelly appeared at the 1996 Chicago Bluesfest. His sound is a mix of Chicago-sound blues with soul-blues funk, though he and his talented Backstreet Blues Band are likely to range from Motown to jump blues, all of it good. Vance's latest CD is "Live At Lee's Unleaded Blues". His latest release is "Nobody Has THe Power" on Wolf Records and currently working on album number 7 due out in the Spring of 2006.
