"Ladies Sing the Blues"
Sponsored and Hosted by the Saratoga Acoustic Blues Society
Tonight the Capital District's best women singers belt the blues to benefit the region's finest acoustic blues venue—Caffè Lena! Back in the 1920s blueswomen from the Delta were among the first black singers recorded, they were the first blues singers recorded, and they were instrumental in spreading the 12-bar blues throughout the country.
Tonight Caffè Lena and the Saratoga Acoustic Blues Society honor the enduring gifts of Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, Memphis Minnie, Sippie Wallace, as well as the original modern blues of the featured singers. Accompanied by a crew of excellent sidemen too numerous to list here, we bring you the dynamite vocals of Sarah Pedinotti, Becky Walton, the Dwyer sisters, Gail Sparlin, Annie Rosen, MotherJudge, Mikki Bakken, and Thomasina Winslow.
