"So, let me put it this way. Every once in awhile in the world of music, there is a "Perfect Storm" of a band that changes the musical landscape. UNDEFEATED is a storm brewing with all the right conditions. It is rare that such a young band not only has the musical punch and flash in performance and whirl wind of ideas - but also has the organizational skills, focus and dedication to be "A Perfect Storm!"" — Rick Andrews, DJ on MSM Radio - Metal Sharpens Metal
Known around St. Louis for their use of loop pedals and onstage chemistry, West End Junction is an alternative folk duo from St. Louis, MO, comprised of Cara Ristau (vocals, keys, and percussion) and Dan Ristau (guitar). The pair met in 2014 in a south St. Louis apartment jam session through mutual friends. Unable to stay away from the music that brought them together, they created the name West End Junction in 2019. Their music, heavily influenced by folk, Americana, and indie country, has been described as "haunting" by Gesso Magazine and "ethereal" by Grateful Web. Lyricist Cara Ristau's words often reflect themes around social justice and spiritualism with a particular focus on climate change.

“Kirchhoff is the dynamic voice of Miss Jubilee, a name that has been synonymous with blues & hot jazz in St. Louis for a decade. The piano/vocal core of the group is what drives the sound. Pianist Ethan Leinwand is an excellent barrelhouse blues piano player nestled in the cradle of ragtime. Kirchhoff’s excellent rhythmic vocalization transforms old blues songs into something fresh and relatable. Her voice is an instrument, her impeccable timing guiding the band and getting right down in the ensemble mix.”

A deep contralto voice, a bright and strong personality and a tiny drum kit.
Gloria Turrini is a well-known and esteemed name among the professionals of the Italian music scene who, against all tendencies, starting from the roots of the Blues let contaminate her path with other sounds, sometimes even more modern, of black matrix between trad jazz, gospel, swing and blues. The certainty is that the powerful dark notes of Gloria Turrini’s contralto, enriched by her strong and brilliant personality, revive the music of the past through an energetic and exciting show where transpire dynamics that go from the most romantic and sweet side of ballads up to the most uptempo swing. It is no coincidence that in the course of her career many famous artists have turned to her and her incredible voice. Andrea Mingardi, Max Gazzè, Giuliano Palma, Andy J. Forest and Jackie Allen, just to name a few.

Jack Hadley messaged last week and said there was an emergency with the bass player and he was in the hospital. They are very sorry will reschedule in 2026.
Blues
Jack Hadley was born in the Philippines into a military family. When they returned to America, they were stationed in San Francisco where he spent his childhood in the Haight-Ashbury district. Jack's mother bought him an acoustic guitar at an early age to keep him busy. The family eventually moved to Denver, Colorado, where he learned to play music by ear, playing everything from Hendrix to Dylan, unaware that he was learning the foundation of American music – the Blues.
Jack played in a number of bands, sharpening his guitar skills and discovering his vocal talent along the way. He began performing as a solo artist and played countless shows as a hired gun. In 2005, Jack decided to focus on writing and performing his own blues-based material with his trio, The Jack Hadley Band. That same year he was playing at a local club when he was approached by blues veteran Otis Taylor, who happened to be in the audience. For the next 18 months, Jack was Taylor’s lead guitarist, playing festivals and shows all over the USA, Canada and the United Kingdom. He appears on Otis Taylor’s 2007 Telarc release “Definition Of A Circle” playing lead guitar and lap steel. Notable musicians on this recording include ex-Thin Lizzy axeman Gary Moore and blues harmonica legend Charlie Musselwhite. In November, 2006 he recorded two songs with keyboard wizard Steve McQuarry at the legendary Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco including his revolutionary track “You & Me”.
Some of Jack’s notable performances include: live on the BBC in London with Otis Taylor | Blues From The Top | BB’s Jazz, Blues & Soups | Brighton Blues Blast | Snowy Range Music Festival | The Rauma Blues Festival in Rauma, Finland, backed by the St. Louis Blues All-Stars featuring keyboardist Bob Lohr, bassist Terry Coleman and drummer Keith Robinson. “The St. Louis Sessions” was released in October, 2014, on San Telmo Media. “Daybreak In Alabama - The Langston Hughes Project” was released in July 2020. This project features songs written by Jack, based on the poetry of Langston Hughes. Taj Mahal bassist Bill Rich holds down the bottom end, along with drummer Bill Larson and jazz guitarist Rich Gibbins.
His newest project is "Jack Hadley - The St. Louis Sessions Volume II". The music was released in April, 2024, and once again features The St. Louis Blues All-Stars and drummer Chris Millar.
