Gulf Coast Records artist, Backtrack Blues Band, is Florida’s longest running blues band, and is a three time winner of the Tampa Bay Music Awards for “best blues band.” The group has released eight albums of original music and has played festivals and concerts around the world, appearing with such artists as Stevie Ray Vaughan, BB King, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, Gregg Allman, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and many more. Featuring stellar guitar, blues harp and vocals, over a seamless rhythm section, these guys deliver Chicago style blues at its finest!

Annika Chambers, a Houston native, began her vocal journey in church and served 7½ years in the U.S. Army, where she completed two tours of duty. It was during her military service that she discovered the blues — a genre that would soon guide her career. Her debut, Making My Mark, earned her a Blues Foundation nomination for Best New Artist. Since then, she’s released several acclaimed albums and earned three Blues Music Awards for Soul Blues Female Artist of the Year (2019, 2022, 2024), with a fourth nomination in 2025. Annika’s voice carries the depth of lived experience and the joy of musical liberation. “Every note I sing carries the weight of my journey,” she says.
