Ms. Diane Blue belts out a funky soul tune, then she’ll sing a sweet ballad, just before she blows you away on the blues harp. Ms. Diane Blue is soulful and sassy.
On “Here I am”, her first full-length CD, Ms. Blue presents a collection of jazzy, bluesy, funky, groovy cover songs and three of her own original songs. With the finest professional musicians in the NorthEast, the performance of the collection of songs is top-notch. "'Restless' a Blue original, simmers with sensuality...Blue sings the heck out of her material, with enough tunefulness and sophistication to offset the power and the glory of her visceral harp playing," says Bob Gulla of the Providence Phoenix.
Ms. Blue has shared the stage with Luther Guitar Junior Johnson, Sherman Robertson, and members of Roomful of Blues and Dave Howard & the High Rollers, to name a few. “When she gets her harp & mic going, the language is hard hitting blues. Strong, confident and tasteful” says Domenic Forcella of Blues Beat.

Hey Diane, I am in town and doing a couple of shows. Friday night July 17th at Nostalgias in Warwick RI and July 25th at Chan's in Woonsocket. Come on down if you are not working.
Blue Di.....how in the hell are you? Haven't seen you in Newport in God knows when. Or, maybe I missed you. Anyway, hope you are doing well and keeping on keeping on. Peace and love, JV

I am moving to California next week and I will be so glad to see you all and play with you one more time before I leave, but in my heart I will sincerely miss you!!! And 15 years of playing with Danny Vigden has nearly put me in the nut house, haha … just kidding. He has been my best friend and drummer for the past 15 years … and it has been an honor to play with such great and talented musicians such as Danny Vigden, Mark Michaels, Lee Lundy, Candido Delgato, Lenny Bradford, Joe Bellomo, Bruce McGrath, and the list is endless … I thank you all for the wonderful times we had …
Please come visit me in LA !!!!
Love Charles

Hi Diane! Thanks for the add. You even sound good over my tinny computer speakers. I hope you get home safely tonight -- it is a mess out there! Love, Cookie
Thanks for the add, Diane. I hear a little of the 80s Malaco groove on Restless and I dig that. Most blues people on "our side" of the tracks aren't as hip to that.
This is a fundraiser for my daughter’s school, please come by if you can. Thanks
