A double bill to remember. With a luxuriant voice redolent of the red soil that sustained her growing up in Georgia, Lizz Wright sanctifies every song she sings. While the highly acclaimed vocalist first gained attention delivering Swing Era standards associated with Billie Holiday, she’s continued in recent years as a singer/songwriter whose music eludes definition. Two-time Grammy winning Blues Hall of Famer Bobby Rush is one of the preeminent bluesmen in the world, one of the last living links to the music’s glorious past, and an inspiration for its future stars. Americana Highways calls Rush “a bluesman on the top of his game.”.
“Spellbinding jazz of soulful intimacy.” - The Guardian
“Blues is the root of all music; it’s the mother of all music. If you don’t like the blues, you probably don’t like your mama.” - Bobby Rush
