On December 6th, Soul & Blues original recording Artist, Kaye Bohler brings an 8-piece ensemble together to celebrate the career of an American treasure, the great Etta James. Act One focuses on the recordings of a teenage Etta James and her years at Chess Records in the 1950’s and Sixties. Act Two celebrates the funky, rock-edged blues and soul sound and recordings from Etta’s comeback years of the late 1980’s and 1990’s. Kaye is a story telling songwriter that delivers a history lesson in this show, through performing the vast material of Etta James life and background stories behind her hits. Joining her on stage is her smoking hot Rhythm and Blues Band of Scott Jensen on Harmonica, Kevin Coggins on Drums, Bill C. Ireton on Guitar, Farida Nelson on Bass, Kevin McCollough on keys, Might Bones Feliciano on Trombone, Modesto Briseno on Trumpet and Doug Rowa on Saxophone
“There is no way to contain Kaye Bohler. She strides across time, not singing but laying down songs, not dressing up but stepping out-bringing the vibe of a different era and making it resonate now. With a voice of whiskey and honey - Bohler is blues and soul, rock and big band, Tina Turner, Etta James, James Brown in one.”
Dave Faires, Monterey County Weekly Dec. 2023
“A Great and unforgettable voice! A large and beautiful voice to Kaye Bohler, a voice that is not easily forgotten. Described as a “white Tina Turner.” Hearing is believing.”
Fabrizio Poggi, Fab Radio, Italy
” I’m telling ya, this lady has more than a little Aretha in her big, beautiful blues belt. She isn’t a sound-alike by any means, but she has that kind of power, that kind of nuance and that kind of emotional resonance. Her stylistic range is impressive too. Of course, Ms. Bohler is much more than a magnificent set of pipes. It also turns out she’s a killer songwriter... Once again, her range is incredible…Utterly breathtaking.”
