“For the second year in a row, James King and the Jackhammer Blues Band wowed the crowd at the Erin Rhythm and Ribs Fest. The Blues fans in the crowd loved the Jackhammers original songs and bowed to the bands versions of classics like Willie Dixon's Hoochie Coochie Man and ZZ Top’s La Grange. Erin Ontario loves James King and the Jackhammer Blues Band, and can't wait for their return to next summer’s festival!”

— Erin Montgomery ~ Rhythm & Ribs Festival 2011
