Join us as we welcome the Doug Hart Band back to Whisperz Speakeasy on the Onyx Lounge stage for the first time from 8p-11p, November 20, 2026. The Doug Hart Band was formed in 1998 when Doug made the decision to front his own band. Twenty-five years later DHB has grown into a staple of the southwest Ohio blues scene, and have earned the right to complete in The International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN four times.
Dave Specter: a 41 year veteran of the Chicago blues scene, just released his 14th album, Live at SPACE on Delmark Records.
He appears on over 50 albums as a guitarist, bandleader and/or producer including compilation recordings with Carlos Santana, Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, Eric Clapton and Mike Bloomfield.
Downbeat magazine calls Dave “one of the few top-tier guitarists” and he’s performed in 19 countries with recent shows in Spain, France, Belgium and Switzerland.
Dave’s unique guitar style combines elements of Chicago blues with influences ranging from Magic Sam, Buddy Guy and Otis Rush to the Texas/West Coast styles of T-Bone Walker, Gatemouth Brown and the Vaughan brothers.
Lil' Red & The Rooster
"His playing is the slow burn to Lil' Red's flickering flame, and together they create a dynamic that is impossible to fake." — Modern Mystery
A deep calling led them both to the Blues, and the Blues brought Lil' Red (Jennifer Milligan) and Pascal Fouquet together in 2010. They've been living and breathing their music ever since—Retro Modern Blues—intimately real, at times hilarious, and always coming from love and respect for humanity and the Blues. International Blues Challenge finalists (2019) and featured on PBS's Songs at the Center, they've released "Soul Burnin'" (2017) featuring Dave Specter, "Keep On!" (2022) with Billy Branch, Kenny Smith & Felton Crews, and "7" (2025) featuring Bobby Floyd. Catch them at Buddy Guy's Legends, on festival stages, or on their weekly live streams—because for them, it's all about the music, it's all about the shuffle, it's all about the Blues.
"A deeply satisfying journey that feels both rooted in tradition and daring enough to stretch beyond it." — Blues Matters
