The 2011 Ruf Records Blues Caravan Tour - presents three of the scene's
hottest young female guitar slingers on a single stage.
Over the past six years, the Blues Caravan has toured successfully in
the UK, USA and throughout continental Europe. This unique triple bill
revue has helped introduce bright new stars such as Ana Popovic and
Joanne Shaw Taylor to an international audience. Following in their
footsteps on the 2011 tour is a trio of dynamic, up-and-coming blues
talents: Dani Wilde, Cassie Taylor and Samantha Fish.
None other than Mike Zito produced the album. Multiple Blues Award Winner in Memphis 2010. On the album are ten own songs, like the earthshaking Get Back ("a real Killer" - Daniel Böhm, ROCKS Magazine 01/2011) or the laid-back Wait A Minute, and two covers of two really great songs. Bitch from the Rolling Stones ( therefore, the girls produced also a video - see www.bluescaravan.com and Jet Airliner, well-known by the Steve Miller Band.
Hailing from Brighton, England, Dani Wilde sings the blues with the
old-school fervor of Aretha Franklin, but also takes a cue from
contemporaries like Duffy and Joss Stone. The
singer/songwriter/guitarist has just released her second album, Shine, a
collaboration with renowned producer Mike Vernon (Eric Clapton,
Fleetwood Mac). She has shared stages with luminaries like Robben Ford,
Candye Kane and Koko Taylor. Says Paul Jones of BBC Radio 2: "Dani
Wilde's voice is astounding, with a unique raw passion and energy. She
sings with more conviction and passion than old legends from the
Mississippi Delta."
At the tender age of 21, Samantha Fish is already a hot property on the
live music scene in and around her hometown of Kansas City, Missouri.
She discovered the blues almost by accident as a teenager, but it has
since become her singular mission in life. Her high-heeled, rock-edged
performances have won her a loyal local following and carried her to
venues like Rosa's Lounge in Chicago, where she opened eyes during the
2010 Chicago Blues Festival. 2011 seems destined to be her breakout
year.
Proud to call herself the "Daughter of a Bluesman,"
multi-instrumentalist Cassie Taylor has appeared on eight
critically-acclaimed albums by her father, Otis Taylor, and accompanied
him on tours all over the world. She was also a featured vocalist on
Gary Moore's 2008 release Bad For You Baby. Still just in her early 20s,
Cassie has been hailed for her commanding stage presence and "heavenly"
voice (Boston Globe). Her music ranges from heart-wrenching ballads to
hard-driving blues. Like her father, Taylor doesn't shy from topical
subject matter, nor shrink from breaching musical boundaries.
This trio of young, passionate performers is backed by a top-flight band
of road-tested professionals for more than two hours of live blues
excellence.
