October 13: Blues Is A Woman: from Ma Rainey to Bonnie Raitt
6 Bodacious Women tear up the stage
in a celebration of Blues & Blueswomen!
with Pamela Rose, Pat Wilder, Daria Johnson, Ruth Davies, Jennifer Jolly & Kristen Strom
BLUES IS A WOMAN blurs the boundaries between concert and theater, using storytelling and music to bring to life the colorful history of the bold and singular women who wrote and popularized the blues. Some of the names are well known – Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin, Janis Joplin – and others should be – Ma Rainey, Ida Cox, Memphis Minnie, and so many more. The voices of these women are vibrant, challenging, inspirational, and dynamic, and BLUES IS A WOMAN seeks to ensure that these women, their histories, and their message will be remembered and celebrated.
