check out my World Cafe performance the guys and i filmed last fall in music row. pretty sure this is the first time I’ve spoken publicly about the Mad Men doom loop i live my life in. thanks to Ann Powers for getting that out of me!

Here it is. The project representing two years of life spent in Nashville striving towards being heard, unheeded. Listen to my new album ‘Silences’ in full via NPR Music before it’s out 2.22.19 on Canvasback Music

“The album is taking on a journey of what happens when you can’t bare when people ask you one more thing. Where you can’t continue to smile and pretend.” So much love to Clash Magazine for taking the time to speak with me about my new album “Silences,” out 2.22.19 on Canvasback Music. While writing this album I didnt know if people would want to hear about the frustrations and behaviors we sometime display when faced with a world that wants all of you, all the time. But I realized that speaking up about these issues that visit so many of us is what enables us to relate to one another. I feel blessed to able to show these vulnerable sides of myself to the world. London, I’m so excited to see y’all babes again 4/2 at Electrowerkz It’s gonna get real blue! 📷: Shervin Lainez Read the full article: https://www.clashmusic.com/features/dope-queen-blues-the-world-of-adia-victoria

Thank you Mary Anne for playing “Different Kind of Love” on Mid-Mornings for Music Lovers on BBC Radio 6 Music! (starts at 1:09:30) Can’t wait to bring the blues to Electrowerkz on 4/2

Thank you so much to SFGATE for the write up and for paying respects to the mighty blues women who not only created rock n roll but whose footsteps I now follow in. Ma Rainey. Bessie Smith. Big Mama Thornton. Victoria Spivey. These women told stories centered on their experiences of life in the South while occupying Black female bodies. They performed fearlessly and courageously in spite of the male gaze and white supremacy. We all owe a debt of gratitude for the art and culture they created that we still draw so much from. San Francisco, I cannot wait to bring the #DopeQueenTour to Cafe Du Nord on 3/9. We will honor the past, present and the future of the blues together. Church is in session, y’all. 💋⚡️ #sayhername #blackgirlmagic #reclaimingtheblues #fortheculture 📷: Shervin Lainez
