Vanessa Collier

The Friends Folk Club is proud to announce a rare appearance by Saxophonist, Contemporary Blues Singer, Vanessa Collier on Friday, September 21st. As a master musician and multi-instrumentalist, Vanessa 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 arsenal of honors, and has already singled herself out as an artist of distinction and one we would all do well to watch. Three Blues Music Award Nominations (BMAs) for Contemporary Blues Female Artist of the Year (2018) and Horn Player of the Year (2018 and 2017), a Blues Blast Award nomination, the Jammingest Pro Award bestowed by the Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise, she’s toured nationally and internationally, released two critically acclaimed albums (2014’s Heart, Soul & Saxophone and 2017’s Meeting My Shadow), and will release her highly anticipated self-produced third album, Honey Up, in July 2018.   Vanessa has appeared at the Briggs Farm Festival, where she was the “most popular Briggs Farm act in 2017” (Elmore Magazine), . As for Collier, she says she’s happy performing on stages across the world, hoping that she can make a difference with fans and followers along the way. “I am driven to do this because I find it a total form of expression and connection,” she explains. “I love connecting with an audience and feeling their energy and I hope to inspire people to follow their dreams and passions, to find what brings them joy, and then to pursue it doggedly.” Attendees are asked to bring nonperishable food items which will be given to the local area food cupboards. Tickets are $20 and will be available at the door. Credit Cards/Checks WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
