Reverend Billy C. Wirtz (BLUES/PIANO/COMEDY)

Reverend Billy C. Wirtz is a comic genius, gifted pianist and American musicologist who defies easy classification. “I like to think of myself as the Victor Borge of the blues,” states the Reverend, but Billy goes way beyond Borge both in scope of subject matter (from politics to social commentary) and, of course, in taste. In fact, no theme is too extreme, taboo, or undignified for the Reverend, so long as it garners a good laugh.

Ronny Elliott (ROCK/BLUES)

Ronny Elliott was born in 1947. He insists that rock’n’roll was, too. After forty five years and no gold watch he has stories he’s tired of telling. Holding Jimi’s Marshall cabinets after opening for him. Elvis offering karate lessons. Touring with Gene Vincent, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley. He’s played bills with Van Morrison, Patti Smith, Wilco, Pete Seeger, the Allman Brothers and too many more to remember or mention. He’s as much at home at Lincoln Center in Manhattan for the Roots Of American Music Series as he is on the tiny stage at the Cactus Cafe in Austin for South By Southwest or the Belladrum Festival in Scotland or a dingy little dive bar in Tampa.
