Joe Kopecki, 2018, 2019 winner of the Phoenix Blues Society IBC solo/duo category. 

“Innocent Joe” Kopecki is a masterful guitarist, singer and songwriter of the blues. When he is not busy fronting his own band, Innocent Joe and the Hostile Witnesses, Joe can be found performing his original blues music as a solo artist on the best well known blues festival stages in Arizona. The Chandler Jazz Festival, Flagstaff Blues and Brews Festival, Sedona Red Rock Blues Festival 2 and the Camp Verde Blues Project Show are some of the 2019 “big stage gigs” that Joe has performed at. In late summer Joe finished his studio album, “Just Me and My Innocent Self.” This is Joe’s 2nd album and the songs were inspired and written to showcase his talent when he competes in Memphis Tenn this winter. The album has charted on the Roots Music Report under the category of acoustic blues music and has received critical acclaim and airplay in both the United States and abroad.

The Swamp Poets Duo, 2019 winner of the Northern Arizona Blues Alliance solo/duo category.  

Chris Berry and “Tall” Paul Epoch are the Swamp Poets Duo. They have been performing together for over twenty years.
