Take one cup Janis Joplin, add a tablespoon of Susan Tedeschi and a dash of Sheryl Crow, blend well with a little bit of rhythm, and you will have a recipe for a truly tasty treat of one female singer Kara Turner and her band Give Me Back My Wig.
When blues legend, Hound Dog Taylor, wrote the classic tune, Give Me Back My Wig, he epitomized the fun, power and timelessness of the blues. When the band, Give Me Back My Wig, took its name from that great song, it also became representative of that fun, power and timelessness. Give Me Back My Wig brings a creative mixture of personalities and sound into a genre that serves as the perfect stage for their talent. “WIG” is fronted by the dynamic presence and soulful charm of acclaimed singer, Kara Turner. Comparisons in the world of musical artists are never really fair but Kara is Janis Joplin, Bonnie Raitt and Susan Tedeschi all rolled into one with the compelling stage presence of Stevie Nicks and Sheryl Crow. World-class guitarist, Joe Campbell, is the best of the best. His career has spanned decades and he has played with the likes of James Burton, Johnny Lee and everyone in between. Drummer, Glen Maiden, hits the skins with the determination of a marathon runner with solid intricate grooves. His work with Joe Cocker was unparalleled in Cocker’s long career. Enigmatic bass player, Bill Hayes, assaults your attention and the band’s bottom end with his constant onstage “get your ass movin’” motion. The sound of Glenn Stacey’s brilliant sax has become a signature of WIG’s entire blues persona. Glenn is a crowd favorite. If any musician in the whole world has that “blues guy” look and tone, it’s Glenn Stacey! The band's influences collectively range from traditional blues to contemporary rockin’ blues; from Chicago to New Orleans to the West Coast but the music they play is always their own! Layered with vocal harmonies and soaring instrumental breaks, Give Me Back My Wig has the seductive force to grab a crowd, bring them to their feet, and keep them there!
