Sierra Green and the Giants
Emerging as a vibrant musical force from the bustling streets of New Orleans, Sierra
Green embodies a fusion of timeless soul with an irresistible contemporary allure,
evoking the depth and grit of the genre's raw essence. Revered as the "Queen of
Frenchmen Street," Sierra's roots delve deep into the rich musical soil of the city's 7th
Ward—a historic breeding ground that nurtured legends such as Jelly Roll Morton,
Sidney Bechet, and Allen Toussaint. Sierra's musical destiny is woven into the tapestry
of this storied neighborhood, where her voice resonated in the church choir from the
tender age of eight.
Sierra's artistic odyssey mirrors the resilience and profound soulfulness of her
surroundings. Originating from humble beginnings, she captivated audiences along the
iconic Frenchmen Street, eventually securing residencies in New Orleans' most
esteemed clubs. Here, she meticulously curated her band, The Giants, handpicking the
city’s finest musicians to refine her distinctive sound and command the stage with an
undeniable presence.
A transformative moment unfolded in Fall 2023 when Sierra, alongside The Giants,
collaborated in the studio with the esteemed David Torkanowsky, a musical luminary
synonymous with New Orleans. The outcome was a five-song collection showcasing
Sierra's artistry, revitalizing classics like The Meter's "Break in the Road" and infusing
her unique essence into David Shaw's "Promised Land." Tracks such as "One Thing" and
"He Called Me Baby" resonate with emotional depth and unfiltered passion, marking
Sierra's trajectory—a burgeoning artist leaving an indelible imprint on the soul music
landscape.
Further expanding her horizons, Sierra journeyed to Nashville, collaborating with
producer and guitarist J.D. Simo, celebrated for his work with icons like Beyoncé, Stevie
Nicks, and Jack White. These recording sessions promise to elevate her forthcoming
debut album, infusing her captivating vocals with sultry guitar, potent horns, and
infectious basslines—a nod to the legends of Detroit and Memphis as she forges her
own path among contemporary torchbearers.
Sierra stands poised and primed, where each moment behind the microphone holds the
promise of an unforgettable evening—an embodiment of soulful melodies and magnetic
performances that leave audiences moved, captivated, and inspired. Sierra Green isn't
merely crafting music; she’s etching her legacy in the revered annals of musical history.
