SUMMARY:Sierra Green & the Giants w/ Joe Waters & the Back Porch Band Opening
DESCRIPTION:Emerging as a vibrant musical force from the bustling streets of New Orleans\, Sierra Green embodies a fusion of timeless soul with an irresistible contemporary allure\, evoking the depth and grit of the genre’s raw essence. Revered as the “Queen of Frenchmen Street\,” Sierra’s roots delve deep into the rich musical soil of the city’s 7th Ward—a historic breeding ground that nurtured legends such as Jelly Roll Morton\, Sidney Bechet\, and Allen Toussaint. Sierra’s musical destiny is woven into the tapestry of this storied neighborhood\, where her voice resonated in the church choir from the tender age of eight. \nSierra’s artistic odyssey mirrors the resilience and profound soulfulness of her surroundings. Originating from humble beginnings\, she captivated audiences along the iconic Frenchmen Street\, eventually securing residencies in New Orleans’ most esteemed clubs. Here\, she meticulously curated her band\, The Giants\, handpicking the city’s finest musicians to refine her distinctive sound and command the stage with an undeniable presence. \nA transformative moment unfolded in Fall 2023 when Sierra\, alongside The Giants\, collaborated in the studio with the esteemed David Torkanowsky\, a musical luminary synonymous with New Orleans. The outcome was a five-song collection showcasing Sierra’s artistry\, revitalizing classics like The Meter’s “Break in the Road” and infusing her unique essence into David Shaw’s “Promised Land.” Tracks such as “One Thing” and “He Called Me Baby” resonate with emotional depth and unfiltered passion\, marking Sierra’s trajectory—a burgeoning artist leaving an indelible imprint on the soul music landscape. \nFurther expanding her horizons\, Sierra journeyed to Nashville\, collaborating with producer and guitarist J.D. Simo\, celebrated for his work with icons like Beyoncé\, Stevie Nicks\, and Jack White. These recording sessions promise to elevate her forthcoming debut album\, infusing her captivating vocals with sultry guitar\, potent horns\, and infectious basslines—a nod to the legends of Detroit and Memphis as she forges her own path among contemporary torchbearers. \nSierra stands poised and primed\, where each moment behind the microphone holds the promise of an unforgettable evening—an embodiment of soulful melodies and magnetic performances that leave audiences moved\, captivated\, and inspired. Sierra Green isn’t merely crafting music; she’s etching her legacy in the revered annals of musical history. \nJoe Waters blues band live music Projects Unlimited Gem Series Opener Joe Waters & the Back Porch Band \nJoe Waters\, a versatile musician from Dayton\, Ohio\, showcases his talent across Blues\, Funk\, Folk\, and Americana genres as a singer-songwriter. Inspired by his father\, Joe’s musical journey began at age 5 with a harmonica\, evolving into mastery of guitar\, drums\, and vocals. With four albums recorded alongside his father and recent accolades like winning the 2022 Telluride Blues Challenge\, Joe is eagerly crafting a new EP with his band and a solo album\, promising exciting new creations for his growing audience.
