BLUESPIRIT

Bluespirit is a journey through the ups and downs of human emotions. Happiness, loneliness, love, anger, fascination, sorrow...

With her multi-faceted voice and her unique expressiveness, the German singer Lia Andes transports these emotions with a rich colourfulness that words cannot describe. She makes use of different music styles, which often merge into each other to become one of their own. However, her affection for Blues and Soul remains ever-present, and with this „Blue“ spirit Lia Andes guides the listener through the program.

Apart from compositions of the American guitarist and producer Rudy Stevenson, the program also includes original compositions from the singer herself.
In addition, classic songs like „Summertime“ (George Gershwin), „Let’s stay together“ (Tina Turner) and „My baby just cares for me“ (Nina Simone) are performed in her unmistakable voice combining the traditional interpretation and her own unique style. That’s Bluespirit - a varied program filled with elements of Jazz, Funk, Latin and Soul, and one or the other musical surprise.

The renowned American pianist Reggie Moore has arranged the titles specifically to fit Lia’s voice and style and to blend in with the accompanying sextet band.
