Curtis Blake (harmonica) and Curtis Marlatt (guitar, drums and vocals) perform the old school stripped down Delta Blues. They are the 2008 Minnesota Blues Champions in the solo/duo category and performed at the International Blues Challenge in February or 2009.

“Curtis Blake quickly became an ‘in-demand’ player. His harp work was a major reason for Sonny Rodgers and The Cat Scratchers winning the W. C. Handy Award in 1991. Curtis is a featured artist at the annual “Blues Harmonica Extravaganza” at the Whiskey Junction in Minneapolis. He has also performed at the Chicago Blues Festival and Kingston Mines with Jimmy Johnson; and as featured artist with Charlie Love and The Reverand Raven. Curtis’ discography includes recording sessions with Percy Strother, Bobby Johnson, Lady Blue and Mojo Buford.”
