"This lively
crew of Clean-Up Women called The Blues Broads are four female singers
that have every single style you need to make your
monkey-nerve well-satisfied for the foreseeable future. Dorothy
Morrison, Tracy Nelson, Annie Sampson and Angela Strehli have been
there, sung that and now come together to bring the big spirit in the
sky right down to earth. Hearing is believing."- Bill Bentley, The Morton Report
Dorothy Morrison, Tracy Nelson, Annie Sampson and Angela Strehli, all highly regarded vocalists in their own rights, have join forces as The Blues Broads.
Reflecting more than two centuries of collective experience in blues,
country, gospel and rock, the awesome aggregation is nothing less than a
roots music "super group" of the first order. The Blues Broads, the group's recording debut is a CD/DVD set, recorded live, out now from Delta Groove.
Tracy Nelson's
career in music dates back to the mid-1960s when she recorded an album
of acoustic blues songs with Charlie Musselwhite. After moving to San
Francisco, she founded Mother Earth and rose to the front ranks of the
era's great female singers, sharing stages with the Grateful Dead, Janis
Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and many more. She relocated to the outskirts of
Nashville where she took the country music world by storm and recorded
with Willie Nelson while turning out a steady stream of blues and
country-rooted albums into the new century.
Dorothy Morrison
who rose to international renown as the lead vocalist on the Edwin
Hawkins Singers hit "Oh, Happy Day," the biggest selling gospel
recording of all time. A member of the singing Combs Family, she rose to
prominence in East Bay church circles and has been a force in gospel
since the late 1960s. There is also a significant secular side to her
career as she has worked with such notable artists as Van Morrison, Boz
Scaggs, Delaney & Bonnie, Rita Coolidge, Merry Clayton and even
Simon & Garfunkel -- that's her voice on "Bridge Over Troubled
Water."
Angela Strehli
had been one of Austin's most highly regarded female vocalists prior to
her move to the Bay Area in the 1990s. In Austin she played a key role
at Antone's, the legendary club where she was mentored and encouraged by
many of the artists she booked including Muddy Waters, Otis Rush, Buddy
Guy, Albert King, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert Collins and her love
for the blues literally found a voice as she transitioned from the back
office to the stage. Her collaborations with Lou Ann Barton and Marcia
Ball were, in some way, a template for the Blues Broads concept.
Annie Sampson
is a triple threat, bringing a rock, gospel and theater background to
the Blues Broads. She played one of the leads in the original San
Francisco production of Hair in the late 1960s and went on to be a
founder of Stoneground, the communal rock band that included Sal
Valentino of the Beau Brummels in its line up as well as Cory Lerios,
Steve Price and David Jenkins went go on to form Pablo Cruise. Like
Dorothy, she comes from a church background, and has collaborated with a
host of notables including Taj Mahal, Maria Muldaur, Journey, Eddie
Money, Elvin Bishop, Johnnie Johnson, Jerry Garcia, Elvis Costello and
Sammy Hagar.

"The combination of these four women has led to what is one heck of a group." - Phillip Sayblack/CBS TV
"The
Blues Broads were a big hit at Monterey. With a wide range of stylistic
influences and a wealth of combined material to draw from as well as a
very entertaining presentation the BB's really tore it up and won lots
of new friends!" - Tim Jackson/Executive Producer, Monterey Jazz Festival
"..great
music performed by a four fine singers. Listen to it. Go see them if
they come to your town. Your soul will be happy that you did." Jim White /Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"The
Blues Broads were a big hit at The Edmonton Blues Festival. While we're
normally a 'blues and nothin' but the blues' kind of event the Broads
provided a nice change up...Gospel, hints of soulful pop ("River Deep
Mountain High" had the crowd on its' feet) along with Texas, Chicago and
West Coast blues made for a varied, highly entertaining show. The
Broads were great to work with and gave us their all." - Cam Hayden/Executive Producer Edmonton Blues Festival
"I've
been listening to all of these girls for a long time and always loved
them for their soulful honesty. The power of the combination is awesome,
more than the sum of its parts" – Elvin Bishop
