Building on her passion for the Empress of the Blues, Julia Titus started to perform as Ma Bessie in 2015 to share the music of Bessie Smith and her contemporaries with a new generation. Mixing Julia’s rich, warm vocal sound with a dynamic group of musicians who look as well as sound the part.
Ma Bessie combines classic blues and jazz tunes from the inter-war years with a selection of original songs and hand-picked covers from the last 50 years of popular music. Performing with ON Tour as a trio (vocals, guitar, and sax), the Pig Foot repertoire includes classics such as ‘Careless Love’, Nobody Knows When You’re Down and ‘Out’, and , of course, ‘Gimme a Pig Foot (And a Bottle of Beer).
Catch Julia and her band for a memorable night of jazz/blues classics performed with style.
