Growing up in the church choir, Alexandra has been singing and playing her way through life. Throughout grade school, she had sung with church and school choirs as well as served as accompanist for her music teachers. When she was fifteen, she began her career playing piano and organ with friends in a blues band and spent weekends playing in bars around St. Louis and Labadie, Missouri. In addition to performing, Alexandra is a music educator at New City School in St. Louis, Missouri.
For over a decade, Rum Drum Ramblers have bridged the gap between punk and country blues with a blend of deep-welled influences, instrumental prowess, and raw feeling. Mat Wilson (guitar, vocals), Ryan Koenig (harmonica, washboard, mandolin, vocals), and Joey Glynn (upright bass, vocals) have recorded two studio albums and have become one of St. Louis’ most celebrated roots outfits through their dynamic, feel-good live performances.
Born in 1997 in St. Louis Missouri., Matt “The Rattlesnake” Lesch started playing guitar at the age of 11 and started out playing mostly rock and hard rock. By the age of 12 he took a serious interest in blues and started studying the masters such as Albert King, B.B. King, Freddie King, Buddy Guy, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf. At the age of 16 he was taken in and mentored by local blues legend Big George Brock and quickly became Big George’s lead guitar player. Matt learned the meaning of the blues and where the music came from first hand from a sharecropper out of Grenada, Mississippi. After performing at many national blues festivals across the country with Big George, Matt quickly became a seasoned veteran at an early age.
He has played with national and international artists like Mud Morganfield, Bobby Rush, Kenny Neal and many more. Matt has had his own band since the age of 16 playing all the local blues clubs and festivals in St Louis, Missouri and Illinois. At the age of 18, Matt started attending Webster University as a Jazz Performance major. In October of 2018, Matt released his debut album Furious Strike at the age of 20.
With the ability of an old, seasoned professional, Matt can bring a fierce show to any stage that he plays on. Make no mistake; his young age is far outweighed by his bleeding passion for music. When you see “The Rattlesnake” on stage you can see and feel the intensity of his passion channeling through him and into the crowd.

His recording and performance credits include Grammy recognized artists such as Terence Blanchard, Kirk Whalum, Fred Wesley, Chance The Rapper, Kingfish, Ernie Isley & more. His music has been featured on VH1, BET, MTV, The CW, ESPN & FOX networks.
“Passionate in everything he does” (WSIE 88.7, “The Sound”), he “truly embodies the creative collaboration…essential to moving St. Louis forward full steam ahead.” (Regional Arts Commission of STL)

2:45-4pm Al Holliday and The East Side Rhythm Band
Al Holliday and the East Side Rhythm Band
Here is just one band family who does their thing the way they do – a band who can sound as hot and as thick as the breath of the Mississippi River in the St. Louis summertime, and can turn around and lay it down as cool as the breeze. Music lovers draw some comparisons to large groups like Delaney & Bonnie and Friends, the Tedeschi Trucks Band, and Joe Cocker’s Mad Dogs & Englishmen – also you will hear influences of Taj Mahal, Billy Preston, Leon Russell, and Allen Toussaint – but AL HOLLIDAY & THE EAST SIDE RHYTHM BAND, with the muddy water in their veins – no doubt, come with their very own game in this generation. The young man and the band bring a package only describable as essentially American – a sound distinct to the “Big Muddy” and their river city home where the four winds blow.
