Jacquie "Lady J" Maddix is a broadcast veteran with 20 years of experience in radio and television. Her background includes work as an on-air personality at KFAI Radio in Minneapolis, Minnesota as well as on-camera exposure at SPNN, a cable television company in St. Paul Minnesota. Ms. Maddix has also worked in news as a producer, assistant producer and production assistant at CBS's Minnesota affiliate station, WCCO TV. In 1999, Lady J started a record label, Diamond Blue Records to promote and preserve the female side of the blues story and produced a release called "Hit The Big Time" to introduce female talent Grana' Louise to the world. Since that time, Ms. Maddix herself has stepped on stage and is now hosting a live open stage/open mic night called the Diamond Blue Revue to showcase Minnesota's music talent. She is also featured on a 2006 CD release called "Speaking Aged and Mellow" with her "full bodied" treatment of spoken word lyrics over live music, available of course on Diamond Blue Records. Lady J is also a contributing writer to the Twin Cities Blues News and to Minnesota Blues on Stage (www.mnblues.com), an WC Handy award-winning internet service. An interview with Jacquie can also be found on Lea Gilmore's "It's a Girl Thang", an internet service that promotes women behind the scenes in the blues. Lady J believes in the magic of the blues and truly feels that music can heal. Her offical title on the air is: High Priestess of the Full Bodied Blues. To her, life is all about the alchemy of music, magic and love!

Lady J & the Full Bodied Blues Band can be found EVERY Monday at Shaw's Bar & Grill, 1528 University Ave NE-Mpls with the Diamond Blue Revue, featuring an open stage night of blues, jazz, R&B, funk and soul music. Showtime: 8:30pm-12:30am.
