Vanessa Collier

Vanessa Collier is a captivating and multi-talented blues vocalist, saxophonist, and songwriter. She demonstrates her skills as a master musician and songwriter, blending her blues background with elements of funk, rock, and soul. Her most recent album, Do It My Own Way, was sonically inspired by the classic Memphis soul sound. And just like the title says, she did it her own way – crowdfunding, writing, producing, arranging, playing multiple instruments and layering lead and background vocals.

Vanessa Collier is a force of nature. Her newest album, Do It My Own Way (Sept 2024), is a bold and deeply personal collection inspired by the golden era of Memphis soul, with modern messages of empowerment and resilience. From the anthemic title track to the gospel-tinged “Rosetta” and the empowering “Wild As a Rainstorm,” Collier’s show is a masterclass in soulful storytelling and high-impact performance. Expect dazzling saxophone solos, stirring vocals, and grooves steeped in the legacy of Mavis Staples, Sharon Jones, and Aretha Franklin.

A multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer, Vanessa Collier doesn’t just play music — she lives it. Don’t miss this chance to experience one of today’s most exciting and inspiring voices in Blues music.
