As a master musician and multi-instrumentalist, Vanessa Collier weaves funk, soul, rock, and blues into every powerful performance and she is downright impressive. With soulful vocals, searing saxophone, and witty songwriting, Vanessa delivers head-turning, fiery and passionate performances you should definitely not miss. She has already won many awards and impressed Buddy Guy when she performed with him. It’s not simply the accolades she has accumulated so far, although they’ve been many -- two Blues Music Awards for “Horn Player of the Year” (2019 and 2020) and one in 2022 for “Contemporary Blues Female Artist of the Year”, seven Blues Music Award Nominations (BMAs), a Blues Blast Award nomination, the Jammingest Pro Award bestowed by the Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise, First Place for lyrics in the International Songwriting Competition, Best of 2014 Blues Breaker on Dan Aykroyd’s BluesMobile -- it’s the fact that she has accumulated all these honours even while her career is still in its infancy. A 2013 graduate of the prestigious Berklee College of Music, she’s toured internationally, released three critically acclaimed albums (2014’s “Heart, Soul & Saxophone”, 2017’s “Meeting My Shadow”, and 2018’s “Honey Up”), and released her highly anticipated fourth album, “Heart on the Line”, in May 2020. These days, Collier spends much of her time on the road, performing at some of the most prestigious music festivals in the world. If you haven’t been fortunate enough to meet Vanessa and witness one of her head-turning, fiery, and passionate performances, you should definitely make sure you do..
