From the moment Dottie Kelly stepped onto the stage, her presence commanded attention.
True musical sex appeal with a voice that effortlessly traversed the highs and lows of the blues spectrum, she infuses each lyric with raw emotion and authenticity. Backed by the impeccable musicianship of Rock the House Band & special guest performances by Gus on the Harp & Carlo on the Sax the synergy between Kelly's vocals and the band's instrumentation was nothing short of mesmerizing.
Darrell Raines, with his virtuosic guitar skills, added layers of depth to every note. His solos were masterful and storytelling, weaving and bending notes and joy through his strings. Together with the rest of the band, Raines created a sonic tapestry that transported listeners to the smoky, dimly lit clubs where the blues was born.
