female blues vocalist in the U.S.” (Real Blues 2010) with a “velvety and
hypnotic voice—resonant of “a female Howlin’ Wolf” (Fulltimeblues
2010). Hailing from Dallas, TX she honed her chops with the likes of
Anson Funderburg and performed with Stevie Ray Vaughan. She has worked
with some of the great names in blues including John Lee Hooker (she
toured as his send-off singer in 1987), Tommy Castro, Ron Thompson, and
many others.Her current band is called "CATHY LEMONS & the blues xcentric" with
Stevie Gurr (of Elvin Bishop and Dr. John), Paul Olguin (of Maria
Muldaur), Kevin Zuffi (of Joe Lewis Walker), and Theron Petersen
(Primus) Cathy Lemons writes songs that are as haunting as they are
autobiographically revealing. She has 3 CD’s out: “Dark Road” (2000)
and “Lemonace” on Vizztone ( 2010). Her 3rd, “Black Crow” (Vizztone)
released March 25 2014.CRITICS:
"One thing is certain…once you hear her, you will be a fan for life.
This is music with a timeless quality that will have all the hitting
power twenty years down the road that it does today. " Bill Wilson "A dandy dose of hot stuff that just doesn’t quit, Lemons isn’t about
affectation and iconography, she’s the real deal .... Smoking, velvet
soul blues that’s right in the pocket throughout, Lemons impresses
throughout with this mighty release. A winner throughout." Chris
Specter (Midwest Record).
