"Delta Moon formed in the late 1990s when Mark Johnson, Tom Gray, and Gina Leigh all lived within a few blocks of each other in Atlanta's Inman Park neighborhood. The three got together regularly in Mark's living room to work up arrangements of classic blues and original songs for two slide guitars and voices. Soon, joined by a rotating cast of percussionists, drummers, and bassists, the band was playing in festivals and nightclubs around Atlanta and neighboring cities. Following the March 2002 release of their debut CD, "Delta Moon," the band started ranging farther from home, energizing audiences with their powerful stage show and a sound that is both fresh and immediately accessible. In January 2003 Delta Moon won the International Blues Competition in Memphis, and in June of that year released "Live." After a year of touring in North America and England, in June 2004 the band released its third CD, "Goin' Down South." Drummer Scott Callison has been with the band since fall 2003. In fall 2004 Gina left the band, and six weeks later Kristin Markiton joined Delta Moon. Phil Skipper on bass joined in summer 2005, to complete the lineup that appears on Delta Moon's new CD, "Howlin'," set for release in September 2005." - Deltamoon.com website bio

Delta Moon has been to the Double Door Inn on several occasions and are a favorite of the Charlotte Blues Society. The following photos were taken during their performance at The Double Door on July 17, 2004.
