Northwest Women in Rhythm & Blues Waterfront Blues Festival Tom McCall Waterfront Park Portland, OR. July 3, 2005 Recorded from KBOO FM, a local all volunteer radio station. There is some inherent reception problems scattered throughout these recordings. The station is not very powerful and the team had some problems on the first day of the festival getting everything "plugged in". All in all some great music with a few tolerable "blurps". FM > MD > HDD > CDWav (for splitting) > FLAC No set lists or art. Northwest Women in Rhythm & Blues Portland guitarist and band leader Sonny Hess has pulled together another great group of Northwest blues women for this special, not-to-be-missed set at the Festival. The lineup includes a musically and culturally diverse mix of women from Portland and Seattle performing a range of blues and R&B material: ? Sonny Hess, lead guitar/vocals ? Lady Kat, vocals ? Leah Hinchcliff, bass/vocals ? LaRhonda Steele, vocals (Ocean 503) ? Brandi Hess, vocals ? Tracy Ferarra, sax (Seattle -Swamp Mama Johnson, Sister Shake) ? Teri Anne Wilson, guitar/vocals (Seattle - Red Hot Blues Sisters) ? Suze Simms - percussion/vocals (Seattle - Red Hot Blues Sisters) ? Kim Carson, drums (Seattle - Swamp Mama Johnson, Sister Shake).
