Klara Soppteater 24 november

Violet Green and all between består av 6 musiker som samarbetat i olika sammanhang under 25 år. Nu turnerar de tillsammans i Sverige och Norge (på jazz- och bluesklubbar, kulturföreningar, kyrkor, skolor, pubar och teatrar) och delar med sig av sin rosade show "A tribute to women pioneers in blues and rock´n roll". Den röda tråden är kvinnornas blueshistoria, där pionjärer inom blues, gospel, soul, rythm & blues och rock presenteras.
