Live from the Boileryard: Vanessa Collier + Red Dress Amy

Join us at Camp North End on Friday, September 15 for a FREE show featuring Vanessa Collier + Red Dress Amy! Music begins at 6pm.

VANESSA COLLIER: “There’s a young lady [Vanessa Collier] came onstage with me, I forget where I was, but she’s playing an alto saxophone, and man, she was amazing.”… Those are the words of Buddy Guy in a recent issue of American Blues Scene, describing an impromptu performance with Vanessa Collier on the Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise. If you haven’t been fortunate enough to meet Vanessa and witness one of her head-turning, fiery, and passionate performances, you should definitely make sure you do. As a master musician and multi-instrumentalist, Vanessa Collier, weaves funk, soul, rock, and blues into every powerful performance and she is downright impressive. With soulful vocals, searing saxophone, and witty songwriting, Vanessa is blazing a trail, racking up an impressive arsenal of honours, and has already singled herself out as an artist of distinction and one we would all do well to watch.

RED DRESS AMY: Born in Charlotte, and raised on blues and rock n’ roll, Red Dress Amy brings a ton of energy to any stage they set foot on. The trio combines blues influences such as Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Doyle Bramhall II and Philip Sayce with rock performers such as The Black Keys and Cream to cultivate their own sound. With their newly released single “No Stranger”, RDA has continued to showcase their live performances and ability to deliver their sound in front of audiences.
