Life is a Noir Rockabilly Blues Cabaret!
Well, for better or worse, the world is truly rocking and rolling. One thing is for certain, the times are changing! Between the US and Berlin, I have been trying to stay focused, positive, and inspired with songwriting, a few gigs, and catching up with people I care about.
In Berlin, I am playing and recording with phenomenally talented guitarist/vocalist Lars Vegas. Lars produced my 7″ vinyl
Noir Rockabilly Blues with Lust For Life on the A & The Wobble on the B side-available on Swelltune Records.
In February, I am honored to play a showcase at the Ameripolitain Music Awards 2023 in Memphis, Tenn., where I have been nominated for female rockabilly vocalist. If you want to vote for the other artists and me, please go to the website by Dec 1st.
In April, I will do a small US tour and record with Swelltune Records, culminating with the R&B/Doo Wop Show at the 26th Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekender.
Our friend Jan Bell and her Brooklyn Americana Music Festival has been nominated for the ‚Best of Brooklyn‘ awards. Please vote as it is a small, beautiful festival that showcases local roots music artists.
There are a few more Berlin shows to close out the year, including Akoustiki at Tiki Heart Berlin with the talented and cheeky Andy Sire-UK on Contra Bass and the Solo art opening of Nico Bordersen @ the Fata Morgana gallery, with my old cohort multi-instrumentalist Boris Kontorowski on guitar.
Keep your eye on Instagram Friday the 14th. I will do a ‚takeover of the Ameripolitain feed and give the world a peek into my influences and the standouts in my rock & roll collabs past in Berlin, and other goodies.
It’s all about collaboration, community, and fighting the good fights. Keep your heads above water and be nice to each other.
Love Saudia
