About this Event
A twelve-time Blues Music Award nominee and four-time winner — including B.B. King Entertainer of the Year and Contemporary Blues Female Artist of the Year — Vanessa Collier is a force of nature. Her newest album, Do It My Own Way (out September 13 via Phenix Fire Records), is a bold and deeply personal collection inspired by the golden era of Memphis soul, with modern messages of empowerment and resilience. From the anthemic title track to the gospel-tinged “Rosetta” and the empowering “Wild As a Rainstorm,” Collier’s show is a masterclass in soulful storytelling and high-impact performance.
Vanessa is appearing with analog warmth and a band stacked with talent, including the legendary Rev. Charles Hodges on organ and the jaw-droppingly brilliant Laura Chavez on guitar — a fiery, soulful player whose solos are pure electricity. Expect dazzling saxophone solos, stirring vocals, and grooves steeped in the legacy of Mavis Staples, Sharon Jones, and Aretha Franklin.
