Band MembersNOMINATED SAN DIEGO MUSIC AWARDS 2009 "BEST BLUES"
Always a stellar lineup!! Current working band includes Reuben Vigil (Guitar/vocals), David Lindgren (bass/vocals), Walter Gentry (sax/vocals), Ric Lee or Mike Minor (drums/percussion)...

SONG INSIDE ME...Michele's long-awaited, full-length debut CD, was co-produced by seminal California Bay Area guitarist/arranger/producer Johnny V Vernazza (Gold Record winning Elvin Bishop Band alumni) and was one of the Blues Foundation's International Blues Challenge 2006 "BEST SELF-PRODUCED CD" Final Four and a San Diego Music Award's 2005 "BEST BLUES ALBUM" Nominee. SONG INSIDE ME features nine self-penned originals among 12 tracks and, along with her own band, luminaries such as slide-master Roy Rogers guest. SONG INSIDE ME has hit the airwaves on Triple A and college stations across the U.S. and Canada and abroad in Australia, France, Belgium, England, Spain, Israel, the Netherlands, Belgrade, Italy, Russia, etc. It made the Top 10, Top 25, Top 100 of 2005 on a variety of stations and currently 10 weeks in the Top 50 on the Blues-Roots Charts.
InfluencesGrowing up in Oakland, CA, music was always the centerpiece and staff of life for Michele. My mom had a varied collection of albums like Harry Belfonte, The Righteous Brothers, Ray Charles, Mahalia Jackson and African and Island sounds! Then I heard Aretha and Tina Turner and I was really taken in!" Influenced by that commanding, Gospel/Soul sound, Michele's own musical expressions exude attitude and confidence...but especially honesty.

Sounds LikeOften described as "Janis Joplin meets Bonnie Raitt" (or think Lydia Pense, Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Bonnie Bramlett).

Here's a sample video of Michele performing her original title track at the 1st National Women In Blues Festival, Nov 2006, Wilmington, NC.

   About Michele Lundeen
SAN DIEGO MUSIC AWARDS 2009 "BEST BLUES" NOMINEE
Michele Lundeen, dubbed "The Queen of Steam" for her stirring vocals and electrifying stage presence, commands attention. A powerful, soulful vocalist with an incomparable style all her own, she effortlessly blends classic roadhouse blues, jump swing, Memphis groove, a little sultry jazz and funky soul into a satisfying musical stew. An established, popular and respected veteran of the club, concert and festival circuit in both Northern Nevada and Southern California, Michele has shared stages with dozens of nationally known blues and roots artists from John Lee Hooker to Elvin Bishop and Savoy Brown to Queen Ida while gaining a reputation as a talented headliner in her own right.

Formed in 1998, she and her San Diego based band, Michele Lundeen & Blues Streak, have been multi-Nominated for BEST BLUES in the SAN DIEGO MUSIC AWARDS, most recently for 2009. These seasoned professionals won the coveted title of SAN DIEGO BLUES CHALLENGE WINNERS 2000 and performed in the Blues Foundation's International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN, in 2001. Michele is frequently a featured artist in allstar showcases and she and her band have established regular shows at popular San Diego venues like Patricks II, in San Diego's historic Gaslamp District and Humphrey's Backstage Lounge on Shelter Island.

"You know ya gotta have some!"

Hope you're having a great weekend and saw the following quote ☺ "There is a point in life when you get tired of chasing everyone and trying to fix everything, but it's not giving up. It's realizing that you don't need certain people and their crap." ☺ ☺ ☺
