Blues and Bourbon Wednesdays: Chrissie O'Dell Dave Croall and the Soothers

Watch out blues fans! Welcome to the stage a brand new Sacramento resident, recently relocated here from New York, blues singer Chrissie O’Dell. This night she is joining Dave Croall and the Soothers.

Dave Croall brings a unique breadth of music experience to the stage. With over 40 years experience playing in the Sacramento music community, his harmonica gets around! With Dave Segal from the Dave Segal Band on guitar, and two SBS Hall of Fame members, Liz Peel on bass and Ratatat Pat Balcomb on drums.

Blues powerhouse, Chrissie O’Dell had been percolating under the radar until her 2010 release of If I Had A Dime which caught the attention of over 300 Dj’s around the globe. On a shoestring budget, Chrissie’s “Downtown” sound received so much airplay that it earned a place on all 3 major national blues charts and spent 12 weeks there. In 2011, Chrissie was voted a winner in Blue Revue Magazine‘s “Sponsor the Band” contest by her fans and also represented the Long Island Blues Society in The International Blues Challenge held in Memphis, TN. Chrissie’s soulful style has been compared to the great Etta James who has definitely been a major influence. As a live performer, Chrissie is a dynamic entertainer who has the extraordinary ability to turn first time audiences into old friends in one show. Her deep, honest vocals tell stories everyone can understand and her blues-with-a-smile approach is infectious.
