Event details
Vanessa Collier is one of the most talented young voices in blues and soul. The Berklee graduate not only plays the saxophone superbly, but also has a great voice and is a great songwriter. Vanessa is extremely in demand and we are therefore proud to present Vanessa in two different projects at the Groove Now Blues Weeks Basel.
With recordings and stirring live performances. Vanessa has won the US Blues Music Awards Best Saxophonist award in 2019 and 2020. The band she is joined by Groove Now is spectacular. Anson Funderburgh and Rusty Zinn are two great guitarists on stage. The well-rehearsed rhythm section with Jon Penner and Corey Keller will lay down a grooving carpet. From Vanessa's band comes the keyboard player, William Gorman. Vanessa Collier promises an evening of concerts that will sweep the audience off their feet.
Due to her great popularity, she is invited to all the major festivals. Already she is also a quasi regular on the legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise in the USA. At the beginning of 2018, Vanessa will be nominated for a US Blues Music Award for the first time. Namely as best contemporary blues artist. The second nomination she receives as the best wind player of the year. In 2019 and 2020, she already wins Best Saxophonist at the US Blues Music Awards. In 2022, she will be awarded Best Contemporary Female Blues Artist.
Vanessa loves to communicate with the audience. Feeling the energy of the audience and bringing them joy drives her. Seeing the joy on the face of her audience makes her happy. She regularly releases new music. It is worth listening to her three CDs so far. They are peppered with catchy blues, soul, funk and R'n'B numbers that immediately stick in the listener's memory.
Vanessa has high expectations of the musicians in her band. Nevertheless, we have discussed with her that we would like to present her with a band that firstly she knows and secondly is perhaps a class better than the one that normally accompanies her.
With Anson Funderburgh and Rusty Zinn there are two great guitarists on stage. Jon Penner and Corey Keller (both Sue Foley Band) make up the rhythm section. Vanessa also brings along her regular keyboardist William Gorman.
This is a concert no one should miss. Vanessa live on stage at a music club - it definitely doesn't get more authentic than this. And will perhaps soon no longer be possible in this format.

Vanessa Collier - Saxophones, Vocals
