Vanessa Collier

Nashville Social Club 1105 South Carson Street, Carson City, NV, United States

Soul. Sass. Saxophone. 💃🎶
Blues powerhouse Vanessa Collier is back with her sixth album, Do It My Own Way, and she is not asking for permission.

Recorded old-school on analog gear with the band in one room, this album channels the deep-groove Memphis soul of Stax & Hi Records—think Staples Singers vibes, bold horns, and grooves so good Willie Mitchell would approve. 🙌🎺

✨ Standout tracks include:
🔥 “Elbow Grease” – a funky opener that hits hard
🌧️ “Wild As a Rainstorm” – a soul-deep anthem encouraging women and outsiders to ignore the noise and be a tapestry of dreams (now on Spotify’s Retro Soul playlist!)
🎸 “Rosetta” – a gospel-tinged tribute to trailblazer Sister Rosetta Tharpe

🎙️ Vanessa writes, produces, arranges, and plays everything—guitars, saxophones, flute, and vocals—proving once again she’s a true force of nature. She’s joined by legendary Hi Records organist Rev. Charles Hodges and an all-star band of collaborators.

🏆 A 15-time Blues Music Award nominee and 5-time winner, Collier has shared stages with legends, made her Chicago Blues Festival debut before tens of thousands, and continues to redefine modern soul-blues with fearless originality.

💥 As Blues Blast Magazine puts it:
“Vanessa Collier is an important part of the future of the blues.”
