In addition to Taj, several other artists will be helping to celebrate Blues Traditions, with support in part by a grant from the National Endowment of the Arts. Art Works. From the dark, smoky clubs of Chicago & St. Louis, all the way down through the Hill Country and into the bayous of the Deep South, you'll be introduced to an sampling of Blues artists, intermingled with the diversity of cultural names and faces you've come to love at LEAF.
