Brothel Blues boss Miss Ida Blue lets her saucy coos lead members of Woody Allen's Jazz Band and HBO's Grammy winning Boardwalk Empire Orchestra
with a repertoire of turn-of-the-century whorehouse blues and a heavy nod to soul and gospel, miss ida spits stories dripping with sex, love, loss and no good men. she’s left nothing to the imagination and leaves everything on the bandstand. your girl will take you to a place that glistens with booze and sweat, offering secrets only her songs can pass on, and an explicit showing of how the blues can be audacious and adorned, loved and lusted, raunchy and rawkus.
born and bred deep in
mill basin, brooklyn... long,
lanky and
shy, she eventually snuck her way to dark clubs and dives to sing her
version of what’s true. easily capable of voice-matching
amy winehouse or
ella fitzgerald, you’ll hear an urban mix of grinding
city sass and whispered boop. she’s backed by an 8 piece orchestra made up of
grammy winning multi-instrumentalists
cranking out sounds of atlantic city’s boardwalk, old pros with direct
lineage to the southern coastal brass of new orleans’ great
king oliver, bluesmen of san francisco’s famed
turk murphy band,
eubie blake’s ragtime piano protege, and young prodigious players thirsty to soak up everything they've got to offer.
