Gaye Adegbalola with Roddy Barnes : Neo-Classic Blues

Gaye Adegbalola embraces and redefines the classic style of the great blues divas of the 1920s and 30s those often fiercely independent "wild women" who were unashamed to lay their souls bare and unafraid to give advice. Adegbalola invokes the spirit and addresses the lyrics & improvisational techniques of these classic blues women and brings history to life.

Adegbalola's partner on this project, accompanist Roddy Barnes, is classically trained and can play any genre, but excels in the old-timey sound that works best with this music. Experience the dynamic and compelling performance of Adegbalola & Barnes as they conjure up another era and deliver it, contemporary cabaret style, to audiences in 2008.
