Vanessa Collier

A twelve-time Blues Music Award nominee and four-time winner — including B.B. King Entertainer of the Year and Contemporary Blues Female Artist of the Year — Vanessa Collier is a force of nature. Her newest album, Do It My Own Way (out September 13 via Phenix Fire Records), is a bold and deeply personal collection inspired by the golden era of Memphis soul, with modern messages of empowerment and resilience. From the anthemic title track to the gospel-tinged “Rosetta” and the empowering “Wild As a Rainstorm,” Collier’s show is a masterclass in soulful storytelling and high-impact performance.

Vanessa is appearing with analog warmth and a band stacked with talent, including the legendary Rev. Charles Hodges on organ and the jaw-droppingly brilliant Laura Chavez on guitar — a fiery, soulful player whose solos are pure electricity. Expect dazzling saxophone solos, stirring vocals, and grooves steeped in the legacy of Mavis Staples, Sharon Jones, and Aretha Franklin.

This is music that moves both heart and feet.

A multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer, Vanessa Collier doesn’t just play music — she lives it. Don’t miss this chance to experience one of today’s most exciting and inspiring voices in Blues music.
