Description
Boasting two distinctive but complementary styles, these blues ladies are bringing their dynamic and danceable show to the Sapphire Room.
Event Details
Lisa Mann - Two-time Blues Music Award winning artist Lisa Mann hails from blues-soaked Portland, Oregon. Originally from West Virginia, Mann’s vocals effortlessly straddle the line between the honey sweet warmth of the south, and the force-of-nature sound Mann has cultivated by mastering everything from hard rock to rhythm and blues. Her clever blues and Americana balladry is complimented by her considerable prowess on bass guitar. Her bass grooves deliver the solidness of a Muscle Shoals Swamper or a Funk Brother.
Her influences run the gamut, from low down blues sisters Etta James and Koko Taylor, to singer-songwriters like Bonnie Raitt and R&B belters like Little Milton. She writes the majority of her recorded material, and her songs paint pictures of a gritty (and sometimes humorous) personal experience in life, love and the not-always-pretty music business.
Lara Price - Lara arrived in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1997 to pursue her dream of singing in a band. The journey of Lara’s career includes tours across the United States, China, multiple bands, and 1 DVD, 6 CD’s that Lara Price has produced, co-written, and on which she has played multiple instruments. Her 6th CD, “I Mean Business,” is exactly that! “I Mean Business” was picked up by Vizztone Label Group and has earned Lara Price a Best Soul/Blues Female Artist nomination for 2017 by the Blues Foundation. Lara’s journey continues in Austin, Texas, where she released her 7th record, “Makin’ Lemonade Lara Price LIVE from ATX” in 2021, and is working on her 8th studio release.
