The Delta Project started out as a duo twelve years ago.  After gigging as a duo for quite some time, five years ago they decided to add a rhythm section that has become a force to be reckoned with.  The Delta Project members include, “Guitar” James Smith Jr on lead guitar and vocals, Lee “Scrap Iron” Raines on harmonica and backup vocals, Scott Mabe on bass and backup vocals and Jason “Sticks” Doyle on drums.  This foursome has been focusing on their craft and working on original music and some of the best covers in the blues world.  They’re highly influenced by Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn and the Allman Brothers.  They’ve been playing all over the Mid South.  Places they’ve played include Midtown Billiards in Little Rock, Roosters Blues House in Oxford, Frank Jones Corner in Jackson Mississippi, Reds BBQ and Blues in Coldwater, Sidecar Cafe in Southaven, Full Throttle Saloon in Trimble Tn and earlier this year the Mushroom Festival in Millington.
