SISTA JEAN and THE BLUES MACHINE are our special featured artists every month, and we're very excited to have
Sista and the band there. She is an outstanding vocalist, songwriter and entertainer, and the band is ABSOLUTELY KILLER!
Sista Jean started as a BG singer for the studios in Los Angeles over twenty-years ago and still has the fire inside to groove
with the best in the business.
"I had an opportunity to sing with Mick Jagger on his 2nd solo album. We did the song "Think" by James Brown and Lynn Collins. "That was fantastic. But there is nothing like being in front of hundreds and thousands of fans who appreciate your songs.
I like that more than anything in life.
"The Blues Machine" has Bill Pittman on Bass, Jeff Suttles on Drums, Norm Weatherly on Keyboards and Synth Horns,
and Ed Neal on keyboards. Been with the band now for over five years and they know me inside and out.
My influences started with Aretha Franklin, then to Chaka Khan, and foremost to Joan Armatrading. These women showed me the way to music and I never lose sight of them in the goals I want to achieve. I don't compare myself to them or anyone else.
I give over 100% when I'm presenting myself to the people, and I live through my songs.
It's more than just singing songs, it's about the living that goes on in the songs themselves."
"If there is one thing in life I could say to people, it would be to never give up on the dreams and goals
you set for yourself in life."
