Country music star Wynonna says this about the Stew:
"When I know that Delicious Blues Stew is playing in town, I always smile. I have the greatest memory of the first time I ever saw them play. I happened to be at the Bourbon Street Blues & Boogie Bar in Nashville with my mother. We were there to see Jimmy Vaughan, and after his set, they came on stage. The next thing I know my mother and I were dancing in the aisles. They groove my brains out!!! You need to experience the joy and celebration in their music like I have. It’s truly a healing experience." - Personal Quote
