Lady Sings the Blues

Capital Blues is thrilled to present Lady Sings the Blues, four singers, Erna Ferry – Carol Bean – Lauren Armstrong – Julie Lamb, with varied styles and fun in mind. They are backed by the stellar Richard Te One (drums), Elliot Fuimaono, (bass), Nick Granville (guitar), and Michael Crawford (keys).

The irrepressible, Erna Ferry. Most recently much of Erna’s time has been taken up performing with Rodger Fox and his bands so we are fortunate to have her performing for us at this gig.

The press calls Erna vivacious and sparkling, but she is also warm, engaging, and the ultimate professional. She makes it fun for the band and audience alike.

Carol Bean is amongst our finest women of rock…sassy, seductive, vibrant, earthy. She learned guitar from Ry Cooder which shows, as she gets lots of invitations to join bands – a tribute to her brilliance. She tells the best stories and injects positivity into every show. Audiences and musicians get that vibe… immediately and obviously.

Lauren Armstrong is engaging. She combines the worlds of jazz and burlesque in a style reminiscent of Nat King Cole and Billie Holliday. She also has impeccable style, with a smiling, sunshine personality that flows out to her audience.  Lauren is a fabulous vocalist and performer.

Julie Lamb has been performing to audiences throughout the country for a good while. Even still, her enthusiasm for music is clear to anyone who knows her, and this shines through her performance on the stage. Come and hear her as this music is where she is “in her happy place”.
