Mac's Bio
:
 
Mac Arnold was born in Ware Place South Carolina, one of 13 children born and raised on a sharecropper's farm.  His musical journey began in the 1950's when he and his brother Leroy fashioned a guitar from a steel gas can, wood, nails, and screen wire.  His early career included working with a young James Brown in the band, J. Floyd & the Shamrocks.  Arnold moved to Chicago in 1965, where he worked with A.C. Reed prior to joining Muddy Waters' band in 1966.  Arnold appears on the November 1966 live recording with Muddy released in 2009 as Muddy Waters - Authorized Bootleg.  He formed the Soul Invaders in 1967, finding work backing up BB King, The Temptations, and others.  His studio work in the 1960's includes playing bass on several notable blues albums, including Otis Spann's "The Blues Is Where It's At", and John Lee Hooker's "Live At Cafe Au Go Go".  He performed in various session work after moving to California in the 1970's.  Arnold's distinctive bass line can be heard on the theme for the TV show "Sanford and Son".  His TV work also included a four year gig as part of the set band on "Soul Train".  Mac's back at it with Plate Full O' Blues.  Mac's band, Plate Full O' Blues, has been together nearly 20 years.

Eddie's Bio:
Born in Cuba and raised in Chicago, Eddie “Devil Boy” Turner first picked up a guitar at the age of 12. He honed his craft growing up in Chicago, and later Colorado, and his music shows the diverse influences of the Afro-Cuban sounds of his homeland and the deep blues of his adopted country. A diverse blend of rock, voodoo blues and R&B peppered with African rhythms, Turner's music moves the feet while simultaneously haunting the soul.

In 1974 Eddie played with Grammy-nominee Tracy Nelson and Mother Earth, followed by stints with Zephyr and the Legendary 4-nikators. In 1995 he helped form the Otis Taylor Band where his intense guitar work contributed to the band's sound on five CDs and countless tours. His 2005 release Rise resulted in a Blues Music Award nomination for Best New Artist Debut, and was followed by 2006's The Turner Diaries.

Miracles & Demons, again displays his dynamic guitar work and strong original songwriting. From rap-styled lyrics to funk- and groove-based rock to his searing guitar work, Eddie Turner provides infectious, psychedelic urban blues.  His latest release is naked…in your face.  “With so many shredders and one-lick-wonders playing blues music these days, Eddie Turner stands head and shoulders above the crowd.”   ~  Chef Jimi Patricola, Blues 411 Website & Radio, November 2016
