Nashville, TN (The Hollywood Times) 9/19/24 – Tonight (Thursday) at 8pm at the Vinyl Lounge will mark 4x Blues Music Award-winner Vanessa Collier’s AMERICANAFEST debut. Born and raised in Texas, she just made an incredible soul album, is set to open shows for Blues Traveler in NYC, Chicago, and Boston, made her Chicago Blues Fest debut this year to a 100k+ crowd, and was just added to Spotify’s official Retro Soul playlist. Her album Do It My Own Way also has a theme of what it’s like as a multi-racial woman in music, with songs especially geared towards how women are treated.
