Michele Lundeen & Blues Streak
"The Queen Of Steam" Opening for Sugaray Rayford 12/16/23
Michele Lundeen, dubbed the "The Queen of Steam" for her sassy-mama style, and electrifying stage presence, truly wears her heart on her sleeve. Her band features Jimmy Woodard on guitar and vocals, Victor Franklin on bass and vocals, Walter Gentry on sax and vocals and Dwane Hathorn on drums. Together these seasoned performers effortlessly blend classic roadhouse rhythm & blues, jump swing, Memphis groove, and funky soul into a satisfying musical stew.
In her storied career Michele has shared stages with dozens of nationally known blues and roots artists like John Lee Hooker, Bobby Rush, Savoy Brown, Sugaray Rayford, Kim Wilson, The Lowrider Band, and Elvin Bishop, to name just a few. Reaching
into the audience with soulful impassioned vocals and downhome humor, this 12x San Diego Music Awards "Best Blues" Nominee, 1st Place San Diego Blues Challenge winner, and IBC Best Self-Produced CD Final 4, commands attention and enjoys including the audience in an entertaining, musical romp. You know you've gotta have some of this!
