Michael started his own legendary band, The Electric Flag, after leaving Butterfields band in late 1967. He is also known for his collaborations with Al Kooper ( the immortal Super Sessions albums) and his work with Bob Dylan, most notably the Highway 61 album including the classic, Like A Rolling Stone.

Ruth Brown is also a member of the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, inducted in 1993, mostly on the strength of 50s classics Ruth recorded for Atlantic Records. Atlantic Records was then known as the house that Ruth built and Ruth a consistent hit maker and was their Queen of Rhythm & Blues.
On the acoustic stage, The GREAT Salt City BLUES Concert 8 will pay tribute to the legendary Chicago Bluesman, Big Bill Broonzy, a Blues Hall of Fame artist who began performing in the 1920s and continued to record until his death in 1958.
