LYDIA PENSE & COLD BLOOD IN A TRIBUTE TO THE MUSIC OF ETTA JAMES

Legends in their own right, LYDIA PENSE & COLD BLOOD have put together a stunning tribute to the legendary ETTA JAMES. Lydia Pense, who was often compared to Janis Joplin when they were contemporaries, nails Etta's classic hits and more in a powerful vocal performance. The show also includes Cold Blood's signature hits as well as new material from their upcoming release, "The River City Sessions".

Cold Blood is one of the original horn bands from the late 60's/ early 70's that exemplified the "East Bay Grease" melding of funk & rock with blues and jazz elements. Lydia Pense has been compared to Janis Joplin, but is a true original and a pioneer in the women's rock movement. Lydia and the band debuted when the Fillmore was at its peak as one of the nation's musical Mecca's.  Owner Bill Graham was so impressed with Lydia's voice and the sound of the band that he immediately signed Cold Blood to his new record label.  During the span of six original late-60's, early-70's albums, Lydia Pense and Cold Blood helped, along with Tower Of Power, forge their own specific brand of funk/soul and R&B which came to be known as East Bay Grease.  That music still holds up today, proving that great music is timeless and will continue to inspire generations to come.
