Peter Dammann (guitar): Guitarist Peter Dammann's collaborations with D.K. Stewart stretch back more than a decade. You can hear his T-Bone Walker -inspired guitar solos on some of Stewart's earliest solo recordings.
In addition to his work with Stewart, Peter has also been manager and lead guitarist for the Paul deLay Band for the past 15 years, before deLay's untimely death in 2007. He has performed on, and co-produced several of the band's five releases on the Evidence Music label.
Don Campbell (upright and electric bass): Campbell is a veteran of the Northwest music scene. He teamed up with D.K. Stewart after both of them departed from the deLay band in the late 1980s, launching a duo career that eventually expanded into a quartet. He’s recorded some 10 records with Stewart, either in conjunction with the deLay Band or with Stewart solo projects. He is also a producer and songwriter, having recently contributed a number of songs to two independent films, Birddog and Kicking Bird.

This all-star Portland quartet (plus horns) infuses classic cuts, obscure nuggets and DK Stewart originals with a fresh take on the blues, New Orleans funk and R&B.
Stewart, whose New Orleans, boogie-woogie piano style has been a driving force behind such Northwest blues giants as Robert Cray, Paul deLay and Curtis Salgado, has for the past several years been tearing up major festival stages with his own group, the DK Stewart Band. Backed by former Paul deLay Band bassist Don Campbell, longtime deLay guitarist Peter Dammann, and drummer Cory Burden, Stewart serves up swinging, uptempo jump blues by Nat Cole, Charles Brown and T-Bone Walker; hard-grooving New Orleans funk by Professor Longhair, Clifton Chenier and the Meters; slashing Chicago blues by Howlin’ Wolf and Magic Sam; and his own soulful, compelling originals.
Stewart has performed with such blues legends as Big Walter Horton, S.P. Leary, Hubert Sumlin, Sunnyland Slim, Buddy Guy and Junior Wells, James Cotton, Albert Collins, George "Harmonica" Smith, Joe Louis Walker, and Roomful of Blues, and has appeared on bills with Stevie Ray Vaughan, Junior Walker, Clifton Chenier, Ray Charles, Paul Butterfield, and BB King. Stewart’s keyboard virtuosity can be heard on recordings by Robert Cray, Paul deLay, Curtis Salgado, Lloyd Jones, and on his own three solo projects, including the band’s latest release, “IN THE HOUSE.”
As a band leader, and as a featured sideman, Stewart has appeared at major blues venues throughout the US, including Portland’s Waterfront Blues Festival, the San Francisco Blues Festival, Seattle's Bumbershoot Festival, Winthrop Blues Festival, Mt. Baker Blues Festival, and the Legendary R&B Cruise.
The band frequently teams up with the Soul Survivor Horns, featuring British sax legend Chris Mercer and NW all-star trumpeter Joe McCarthy.
