MZ. DEE
One of the San Francisco Bay Area's treasures, this reknown vocalist
has a multitude of accolades
from her performances
of R&B, blues, swing and jazz. She has worked as the featured vocalist
for legendary Johnny Otis, she's opened for James Brown, John Lee Hooker,
Stephen Stills and Koko Taylor, and been featured at the San Francisco Blues
Festival, and for the Neville Brothers at the Shoreline Amphitheater. Europe
has discovered Dee also, and she's performed in Italy, Switzerland, Germany,
Austria, Slovenia, Greece and the French Riviera as the headliner act. The
Italian press says "Ms. Dee's voice has the roar of a lion". In
2005, Mz. Dee and fellow Bay Area musician, keyboardist Linda Wiggins performed
in Paris (with the club's house band rounding out the 5 pc band). Mz. Dee
also performed with swing band Johnny Nocturne at the Italian Umbria Jazz
Festival the last 2 years. In 2006, she performed at the Mt. Rushmore Blues
Festival (South Dakota), was a featured artist also that year at the Great
American BBQ Blues Festival (San Rafael), and featured again up in Napa
at Headfeathers Music in the Courtyard, sharing the stage with the guitarist/singer
Anthony Paule. Dee performed with Anthony at San Francisco's reknown blues
club - Biscuits & Blues in December 2007. She is tentatively setting
up a summer and fall 2008 European tour (already has some dates in July
booked in Italy), and is open to offers at European festivals and clubs.
