MARGIE EVANS, THE CONSUMMATE
ENTERTAINER
"Listening is believing."
 "Mistreated
Woman," that's the Blues of today, funky, groovy, that kind of
Blues
you want to jump up and dance
to.
Yet it is full of power and intensity. You cannot just play
Margie
Evans' songs and just
walk
by.
You are forced to listen from the first to the last note.
This
is 100% Margie Evans! The
preparations for each of these recordings was all precision,
performance,
impeccable
quality, punctuality and perfection, which are Margie's trademarks.
This is how she
gained
the reputation she has today in Los Angeles. She worked with
the
Johnny
Otis Show, coordinated and co-produced Bobby Bland's albums, has
been on
television and
local radio as a lecturer and DJ, clarified Naras' Tradtional Blues
format, founded the Blues
Society
of Southern California and worked with countless landmark artists.
Evans presents her family in the LP, "We Shall Walk Through the Valley in Peace," which delivers the message of the Lord in serious doses. Her passionate messages are heard in "Another Blues Day" and "Blues for the Lady," done with the Checkerboard Blues Band, as well as "Trouble People," performed with the Mighty Reapers. A Shreveport native,
transplanted
to Los Angeles, Evans is always making a
positive impact on all she meets, encouraging others to reach their goals. Her music and community service are cathartic and inspirational, motivating us all to use our resources to overcome. After more than 40 years in the music business, after travelling around the world, preaching the Blues with a strong gospel influence, she is the penultimate standard for "clean Blues" and is the inimitably consummate Blues entertainer, businesswoman and historian. She is truly one of a kind. |
