The music was bold – the women even more so! Celebrate the strong blues queens who built careers during prohibition.
This show SOLD OUT at Edinburgh Fringe festival two years running and was an opening performance for Copenhagen Jazz Fest in 2024.
Bye Bye gatsby!
An award-winning vocalist (& jazz historian) with an all-star band, Ali Affleck offers up a selection of pioneering blues and hokum (1913-1933). Celebrate the brave and bawdy blues queens who reigned in the prohibition era - many sadly forgotten over time.
