Bessie and the Back Eddies
Saturday, April 28 at the Vallican Whole 7:30 PM
Bessie and The Back Eddies is a seven piece old school R 'n B show band that brings style and class mixed in with a bit of mischief to the stage. The elegantly powerful vocal stylings of Bessie Wapp are backed by a dynamic three piece horn section and an all acoustic rhythm section. With a repertoire that dips into the songbooks of Ruth Brown, Etta James, Bessie Smith, Dinah Washington, and Nina Simone, Bessie and The Back Eddies deliver up a performance that goes from the swing of the big band sound and the grooviness of soulful R 'n B to the sass of burlesque classics and the raunch of down home blues. Their eclectic arrangements showcase all aspects of the band and the music making every Bessie and The Back Eddies performance unique and entertaining.
