Women’s Blues by Paulina Jeżewska

We will take you on a journey through the history of the blues sung and felt by women. We will reach back to the early 20th century, as well as to the repertoire of contemporary female blues artists. During the concert you will be able to hear songs that were performed by Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, Memphis Minnie, Etta James, Koko Taylor, Shemekia Copeland, Jessy Martens and several other ladies – but in our own arrangements.

RULES: The venue after 7:00 p.m. is for persons over 18 years of age. Minors will not be admitted to events organized by Vertigo Jazz Club & Restaurant
