Schorr Thing! 8/12/15

In January 2015 legendary producer Mike Vernon was invited to receive a ‘Keeping The Music Alive’ Award at the prestigious International Blues Challenge in Memphis. This award, was not the only highlight of the weekend for Mike, the second was witnessing the performance of one of the most amazing female blues singers Mike has seen in years - Sari Schorr. Mike was so knocked out with Sari that he offered to come out of retirement again and produce an album with Sari. Several years of touring the USA & Europe with Joe Louis Walker and Poppa Chubby brought Sari greater prominence in the Blues world. Already a consummate songwriter, with tracks on major labels, Sari was recently inducted into the New York Blues Hall of Fame and has written or co-written most of the songs on her new album due to be released in September 2016 alongside a European tour. Last night we were lucky enough to witness an intimate Blues Rock performance in London from Sari and her new band The Engine Room featuring British guitarist Innes Sibun, formerly with Robert Plant.
