This Portland based supergroup was formed by Blues Music Award winning bassist and vocalist Lisa Mann at the behest of Swiss promoter Patrick Kaiser of the prestigious Groove Now concert series. Six-time BMA nominated Soul Blues artist Terrie Odabi was added to the group, lending her authentic, radiant, and unforgettable voice. A live recording was made in Basel paying tribute to the Great Women in Blues, such as Etta James, Koko Taylor, and Big Mama Thornton. The album was deftly mixed down by the band’s famed drummer and BMA winner Jimi Bott, and received global radio play and acclaim in 2025.

Now this tribute to the Blues goddesses is coming to you LIVE, with an unforgettable show at Alberta Rose Theatre on Wed, April 8th. Lisa Mann on bass and vocals leads the pack, with Terrie Odabi on vocals, Jimi Bott on drums, Jason “JT” Thomas on guitar, and the one and only Louis “King Louie” Pain on organ. Special guest Sonny “Smokin'” Hess joins the pack, paying tribute to the great women of Blues guitar.
Stellar Portland Blues songstress LaRhonda Steele opens the show accompanied by her husband, keyboardist Mark Steele.

“With vocals tapping into emotional realms beyond the reach of their peers, they project credibility as devoted interpreters of famous songs in the repertoire of Big Mama Thornton, Etta James, Koko Taylor and other ‘Great Blues Women'”
