Memphis Lightning brings their own brand of ol’ school Rock & Roll and down and dirty Blues to the stage. Memphis Lightning was born out of tradition with a pedigree second to none. Having played with Blues Legend Eddie “Blues Man” Kirkland, Memphis Lightning are the real deal. Their energetic performances will bring you back to the days when the Juke joints were rocking and Blues was King. At 12 years old Darren “Lightning” Thiboutot was playing ol’ school, rock solid, tasty guitar on stage with the late Great Blues Legend Eddie Kirkland, and Buddy Guy. In recent years he was selected by The Maine Blues Society to represent the state of Maine in the International Blues Challenge Youth Show Case. His Dad is Grammy nominated and international touring and recording artist Darren “Big Red” Thiboutot who has recorded and/or played with artists such as Eddie “Bluesman” Kirkland, Pinetop Perkins, Lazy Lester, The Hoodoo Kings, Tab Benoit, Kenny Neal, Sonny Landreth, G.E. Smith, Clyde Stubblefield, T-Bone Wolk, Richard Bell, Christine Ohlman, Lucky Peterson, Troy Turner, Big Jack Johnson, Cub Koda, Colleen Sexton and others. You’ll enjoy this show… guaranteed!

Deej SG (aka. Dave Lowe) has fronted several bands through-out his lifetime and spent over 15 years playing drums before beginning lead guitar in 2010 at the age of 50. Deej has always had an “artist/creative” streak which now has helped form his unique and emotional style that was intentionally developed without the outside influence of learning other players songs or styles. What you hear will be 100% Deejified! Deej also feels it is important to share his message, particularly with the “older” crowd, that “It’s NEVER too late to do what you love!” His active guitarist presence on Facebook and his guitar group “Massive Blind Jam Project” are living proof of the truth and importance of this message! “For me, improvisation is the most honest form of playing because I can express through my instrument exactly what I'm feeling at that very moment in time. That is where you get to truly feel my heart and soul unfiltered!” - Deej SG Deej SG on Facebook: www.facebook.com/DeejInspirations
