The Empress Theatre Presents Nancy Wright CD Release Party June 28
NANCY WRIGHT is one of the most highly respected and in-demand sax players on today's blues, Americana and R&B scene. Recently receiving her third consecutive Blues Music Award nomination, she is following up her very successful 2016 VizzTone/Direct Hit release, PLAYDATE, with a smoking hot live recording from the legendary San Francisco live music club, The Saloon, featuring her own Rhythm and Roots band: Nancy on sax, and vocals, drummer Paul Revelli, Tony Lufrano on keys and background vocals, Jeff Tamelier on guitar and background vocals, and Karl Sevareid on bass. The twelve-song set features five of Nancy's original compositions, and showcases the relaxed interplay of veteran musicians.
"Her tenor is, by turns, slathered with Noble "Thin Man" Watts Southern-fried grease, robust with King Curtis soulfulness and buffed to a gleam with pungent Junior Walker funk."
- Frank-John Hadley, Downbeat
