I Got It Like That

Blackfoot. She has been entertaining the crowds at the internationally famous Kingston Mines of Chicago since early 1997, backed by Sam Goode and the Cruisin Blues Machine. Not content to merely stand on the stage and sing, she keeps the room alive, often leaving the bandstand to get people involved in the show. It's not at all unusual for surprised audience members to find themselves with a microphone in front of them, or dancing on the bandstand.
