Concert Review: Janiva Magness - The Upstage, Port Townsend, July 2006


Janiva Magness won the Blues Association Award for Best Contemporary Female Blues Artist this year - beating out such wonderful singers as Susan Tedeschi, how fortunate we were to have her come to Port Townsend! She was absolutely magnificent. A wonderful voice and so wonderfully entertaining. I had one of her CDs already and bought three more during the break. I told her I hoped she wouldn't forget Port Townsend now that she had made it big -- and she said she wouldn't.
Unfortunately we had to leave early as we had a committment to walk in the Relay for Life 24-hour walk to raise funds for a cure for cancer so we are really looking forward to her next visit to town.
