Folks, this young lady can sing! It didn’t take long for me to say myself, “man, she’s got a set of pipes on her!”. On the slow tunes she absolutely tore it up. Very soulful and passionate vocals from Danielle. The band had enough time to stretch out a bit. This is one band that I hope to see again sometime. I should mention that they took 1st place in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis in 2008 and Nick won the Albert King Award for best guitarist. Not too shabby! If this band isn’t on your blues radar then they should be and if you haven’t seen them yet then make it a point to. I’m hoping they make it back to BB King’s as headliners. Please stop by their website to read up on them, check out some live videos and purchase some merchandise.
