Barrelhouse Ladies Bonni McKeown and Gloria Shannon’s blues piano, singing and songwriting style echoes back to the upright pianos in the juke joints and barrelhouses of the South, and the Bessie Smith era of vintage 1930s blues.  As a journalist and blues historian, McKeown’s goal is to spread the music to new generations and to support the heritage musicians actively upholding the tradition.   http://www.barrelhousebonni.com/
