Campbell, Eddie Clearwater, Lovie Lee, Sunnyland Slim, Jimmy Dawkins and many more were frequent visitors to his house. They all helped to shape and school him in the blues, but none as much as his father's long-time employer Muddy Waters….Lisa Biales s a soulful songstress, performer, and recording artist that weaves a tapestry of Americana, jazz and blues inspired folk.
