Up to north again…

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. I showen lyfter de fram den enorma inverkan kvinnorna har haft under detta århundrade; från 1920-talet, fram till idag, artister/musiker som Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, Victoria Spivey, Ethel Waters, Memphis Minnie, Big Mama Thornton, Big Maybelle, Etta James, Mahalia Jackson, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Aretha Franklin, Nina Simone, Janis Joplin, Mavis Staples - som i en ålder av 80 år fortfarande är ute och turnerar! ..................................................................................................................................................
