Jonn Del Toro Richardson is the guitarist who powered Diunna Greenleaf’s band Blue Mercy to victory at the 2005 International Blues Challenge, where the Blues Foundation handed him the Albert King Award as the most promising guitarist of the entire competition. Raised in a Houston family of touring mariachi musicians, he poured that Latin fire into Texas blues and never looked back. His debut solo album Tengo Blues, produced by the legendary Anson Funderburgh, climbed the national blues charts and won the 2017 Blues Music Award for Best Emerging Artist Album. Tonight, Richardson sets the full band aside for a duo with Lightnin Malcolm, a charismatic and energetic guitarslinger with a deep soulful voice. Lightnin’ Malcolm has taken his irresistible dance grooves from Juke Joint teen years to world stages. A Blues Music Award winner, Malcolm has shared the spotlight with mainstream titans including Robert Plant, Jimmy Buffett, The Black Keys, and Gary Clark Jr. Mentored directly by legends like R.L. Burnside and T Model Ford, he developed a uniquely funky “full band” guitar sound, simultaneously commanding Bass, Rhythm, and Lead. Whether performing as a One Man Band with foot drums or in a Power Duo, Malcolm fuses raw electrifying Blues with fresh melodic songwriting to create an authentic signature sound.
