About
Delivering truly magnetic performances, Lavay Smith and her Red Hot Skillet Lickers delve deep into the swinging jazz sounds of the 1940s and 50s. The Los Angeles Times writes that Smith possesses “a lush vocal style recalling both Bessie Smith and Dinah Washington,” while the Boston Globe maintains that the Skillet Lickers “sound as tight as the legendary musicians they choose to emulate.” Their latest album, Miss Smith To You! adds another fine chapter to her career and proves why Smith and her Skillet Lickers are a perennial San Francisco Bay Area favorite!
