The great architect of vocal grandeur, Freddie Mercury, born on September 5th, 1946, blessed the world with a voice that seemed to descend from the heavens, only to then tear the earth asunder with its power. His legacy, entwined with the brilliance of Queen, set an unyielding standard for rock 'n' roll. Mercury was more than just a frontman—he was a creator, a visionary, and a spirit that shattered the boundaries of what music could be.

Where is Joe Samba? The New England-born singer, songwriter, guitar master, and general musical phenomenon is hard to pin down, literally. First, there is his chameleon-like ability to move seamlessly from job to job and place to place. Are you looking for Joe, the touring musician? Good luck! He is seemingly always on tour or playing somewhere, usually far from where he was the night before. Or perhaps you’re looking for Joe the father? His family is always with him.

Growing up, the Wooten Brothers were military brats. Their family moved frequently, and the five boys grew up in Hawaii, California, and Virginia. Despite the constancy of motion, the family was anchored in music. Regi, the eldest, began teaching his younger brothers how to play bass and keyboards before any of them turned ten years old. The Wooten Brothers Band was playing gigs when the youngest, Victor, was only six.

Over fifty years later, the Wooten Brothers are still gigging!
