When you think of Blues and Soul havens you tend to think of Memphis or New Orleans. But today's blues singer hails from Brighton England. And Dani Wilde kicks butt.
When asked what made Dani decide to become a blues singer she replied “Well, when I was 14, I went to Bishopstock Blues Festival in the UK and that was where I saw the likes of contemporary blues singers Sue Foley, Shemekia Copeland and Susan Tedeschi perform. Before then I had only heard the old Chicago players like John Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters but to see young female artists playing the blues like that really blew me away and so I made it my mission to follow in Susan Tedeschi’s footsteps. Her performance was inspirational and had a life changing effect on me in regards to my music career.”
This is a promo "video" for her new album, Juice Me Up, that has hardly left my Winamp playlist since I got it. This will give you a sampling of her amazing voice.
But to truly appreciate her voice and her guitar playing you have to experience her live.
