Blues Is A Woman made its theatrical debut in San Francisco in 2017, with a month long, sold-out run and fantastic reviews. Now show creator Pamela Rose is tearing it up with a new verson - Blues Is A Woman - In Concert. Rose and her ensemble--featuring saxophonist Kristin Strom, pianist Jennifer Jolly, guitarist Pat Wilder, bassist Ruth Davies anddrummer Daria Johnson -- celebrate women in the Blues from Ma Rainey to Bonnie Raiit. Live music and theatrical storytelling transport the audience back to the early roots of the America's most enduring art form and travel through the decades to celebrate the outspoken, audacious women of the blues.
This show will appeal to all ages, families, blues devotees, and has been described as musically revealing, educationally illuminating, and emotionally exhilirating.
All of the musicians onstage sing nd perform music treasures, spanning the decades from Ma Rainy to Bessie Smith, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Etta James, Janis Joplin and Bonnie Raitt.
Blues Is A Woman was written by San Francisco musician Pamela Rose, with original creative direction by Jayne Wenger.
Blues Is A Woman is the latest in Rose's Wild Women of Song project, which gives voice to remarkable women in American music. Rose's previous piece "Wild Women of Song: Great Gal Composers of the Jazz Era" toured nationally for seven years.
