Cros was indoctrinated into the blues very young, he has worked with such greats as James Cotton, Lucky Peterson, Koko Taylor and hip hop group Cypress Hill. Cros brings his heart, blood, sweat and tears to these genres.

At a very young age, Lon Don is no stranger to blues and hip hop as well. Being the grandchild of two great blues artists, along with his uncle Cros, he has all the right stuff. Holding his own, Lon Don has worked with hip hop greats such as Kanye, Jay Z and Traxster. Bringing an intense performance to every concert, Lon Don is the real deal and is a force to be reckoned with.
