    Feature Artist: Johnny Sansone 03/30/2010 Location - New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in New Orleans, Louisiana Feature Artist(s) - Johnny Sansone Like his friend Sonny Landreth, harmonica player/accordionist Jumpin' Johnny Sansone takes his songwriting cues from the things he sees in his New Orleans home. Many of the songs on Crescent City Moon, his debut for Rounder's Bullseye Blues label, are inspired by the sights, sounds, and smells of the Crescent City. Sansone's father was a professional saxophonist who played with various jazz groups on the Newark, NJ, club scene. Sansone lived in Colorado, Austin, Boston, and Chapel Hill, NC, before moving to New Orleans in 1990. Sansone has won numerous awards in the Crescent City, including Offbeat magazine's annual "Best of the Beat" competition. Sansone has also won Song of the Year, Best Harmonica Player, Best Blues Band, and Best Blues Album of the Year. This week we're bringing a great set of Johnny Sansone to you live from the 2009 New Orleans Jazz Fest. Also this week we've got Debbie Davies from BB king's Blues Club in Memphis, Tennessee. Debbie Davies has brought a new sensibility to the blues. The former guitarist for Albert Collins & the Icebreakers, Davies has continued to attract attention as the leader of her own group since 1993. "I believe my reputation backs up my ability to recognize exceptional blues," explained John Mayall during a early-2000 interview. "Such a one is Debbie Davies." Guest Host, Poppie Tooker, tells us more about Food and The Blues.
