Trudy Lynn and
Steve Krase Set Euro Tour Dates in May and June
HOUSTON, TX – Connor Ray Music artists Trudy Lynn and Steve
Krase announce a series of European dates that will take the blues singer and
harmonica player to Germany, France, Spain and Norway on a two-week tour during
May and June. Lynn and Krase will perform at a combination of outdoor
festivals, concert halls and showcase venues that will give blues fans a chance
to hear the two artists up close and personal. They’ll be performing
songs from Lynn’s current CD, I’ll Sing the Blues for You, which
helped garner her a Blues Music Award nomination for Best Traditional Blues
Female Performer (aka the Koko Taylor Award) as well as Krase’s new
album, Should’ve Seen It Coming, which is set for release on April
21. Both artists make special guest appearances on each other’s new albums.
"I’m looking
forward to bringing my new music to all my fans over there,” exclaims Trudy
Lynn about the upcoming shows. Adds Steve Krase: “Excited to give the European
fans a taste of Houston Blues! Watch out!"
On I’ll Sing the Blues for You, Trudy Lynn
showcases 10 tracks dripping with blues, soul and R&B, and includes her
unique takes on songs from Big Mama Thornton, Lowell Fulsom, Memphis Minnie and
Johnny Copeland, among others, as well as the funky original, “Thru Chasin’
You. It is Trudy’s 12th solo album and her third release on
the Connor Ray Music label, following up on 2014’s Royal Oaks Blues Café,
which hit #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart; and 2015’s Everything
Comes with A Price, which spent four months on the Living Blues
Radio Chart. Trudy is a six-time Blues Music Award nominee and was inducted
into the Houston Music Hall of Fame in 2015.
Blues harmonica ace Steve Krase lays it all out on his new
album, Should’ve Seen It Coming, which also includes special
guest appearances from guitarists Mark May and Bob Lanza. Krase
is well-known as the harmonica player behind Trudy Lynn’s three incredible
blues albums on Connor Ray Music. To those in the know, Krase is a powerhouse
in his own right as a performer, whose high energy shows are legendary around
the Houston scene. Krase has been recognized in multiple categories over the
years by the esteemed Houston Press Music Awards in several
categories, and most recently -and perhaps most suitably - in 2016 as “Best
Player.” Steve was also a semi-finalist at the recent 2017 International Blues
Challenge in Memphis.
